Re: No start

Will do Bob,got a dissy coming and new key coming got a new cps here as well so once all here i will work my way through it all You'll sort it Kev - never in doubt.

Re: No start

Cant help over the key issue but I can say that mine is a Temic reg 1997 and it very definitely would not start with a faulty CPS. It will run on the TDC signal from the dizzy without the CPS but needs the CPS when starting to identify the position of the crank and I presume, to tell the ECU that th...

Re: No start

Re: No start

Running normally when it stopped, now wont start! Classic CPS and the only circumstances under which this can happen if no other problem has come along during the non running period. AS you are all bored of hearing, mine was the lead cut through by the pulley but any disruption to that circuit has t...

I would add to check the small buhes of the UJ (stalk end from memory) if you have got sloppy gear selection. I fixe...

Re: Gear change

Good news, the new oil and UJ service seems to have done the trick. Gear changing is very much easier and smoother. I cant tell you which had more impact, but previously there were two notches and occasional clunking when changing gear, now there only seems to be one. I havnt tried a racing change y...
