Re: 24V Probe - Complete Starting Fail
If you have air/fuel/spark and timing right , it must run. The spark must be 'strong enough ' though , I think you need to test if that spark is good enough. The only other possibility is a problem with that 6 castellation plate that whizzes round between the Hall effect sensors in the distributor. ...

Re: 24V Probe - Complete Starting Fail
Oh No , how many times must I write it.
NEVER, EVER try to run with an open plug lead.
You have just killed the 'dissy' .

Re: 24V Probe Idle Issue
And , check EVERYTHING in that throttle quadrant slot is working correctly.
That tiny ball-race MUST turn, not slide , as it moves up and down through the slot.

Re: ABS problem
Because those cables are subject to LOTS of movement and vibration.
It has to be totally flexible.
The wire is much finer than hair , twisting them together is fine , solder and the wire will break on the solder/wire transition.

Re: ABS problem
If all else fails I do have one BUT the cable is only 6 inches long.
It can be spliced onto the existing cable by twisting the wires together NOT SOLDERED.
I can supply all the heat shrinks to make it a good job.
A £3 postage stamp gets it to you.

Re: ABS problem
There are only four ways these items can fail.
1/ By the stainless can being crushed by rust.
2/ The can being damaged on removal
3/ The 'sticky-out' peg being damaged by a stone, etc
4/ The cable being damaged
Which one caused yours to fail ?

Re: Timing Belt and water pump replacement
And lastly , everyone needs to know this.
IF you over-tighten the screws that hold the tensioner in place and it snaps off in the engine block , I have the only piece of kit IN THE WORLD ,
that will allow you to remove the piece left in the hole.........without removing the engine.
Remember.

Re: Battery tray
This was my first 'mod' to the dear old Probe , just so that a standard -075 battery would fit without the terminal problem.
