Re: Power steering cooling pipe
When it happened to me I simply connected the return pipe to the other side of the reservoir, not quite as easy as it sounds though. Also, I was surprised at how hot the system runs , so be careful. The very position of the cooling pipe makes it a 'big' job to get access to replace it. My intention ...

Re: 24V Hesitation
Have you tried spraying WD40 over all of the plug leads , especially where they all bunch up together ?
Or, looking under the bonnet when it is really dark , just look for blue sparks anywhere !

Re: Need some serious help please
Lovely news Bob, really pleased it's fixed.
Well done for pursuing the crank sensor as the reason for failure.
In the end though, that was 'mechanical' failure rather than any 'electronic' component and just shows how important it is to get everything back together perfectly.

Re: Need some serious help please
Well done on your diagnostics, it certainly points to that CPS2 as being the problem.
Strange it should fail though , it only generates a 'pulse' as the 'blade' moves through the gap. Generally a pretty rugged device.
Fingers crossed.

Re: Need some serious help please
External coil details posted off to Tomcat yesterday.
That's it, I have no copies.
I was always able to get working spares for the '94 Probe so never had to resort to the external version but definitely the way to go.

Re: Need some serious help please
It would be interesting to know if ANYONE in the club is running a Probe with the external coil + igniter system installed ? Anyone, please reply with your experience. That said , mostly we all agree that distributor failure is caused by two situations. 1/ The absurdly small relay contacts in the Bo...

Re: Need some serious help please
You've got me thinking about the immobiliser now ! This is from the '94 Bosch System Arming/Disarming words. NOTE : Due to the rolling code security feature, the immobiliser will not respond if the remote control button is pressed 255times while out of range of the receiver. To restore the remote co...

Re: Need some serious help please
When it worked, the old dissy was the right dissy. Is there anything on it which absolutely defines it as 'different' from any of those others you have tried ? I know you are looking elsewhere now, but my 'gut' feeling is still the distributor. The almost unthinkable is the ECU and if worst came to ...

Re: Fried ECU transistor
I would believe the reading of 14 ohms rather than the Haynes figure.
Almost certain it is the old IAC that killed your transistor.
