Hi all. My 24v was stuttering / misfiring last year, then eventually wouldn't start. I replaced the plugs, leads and distributor complete which solved the problem.

Almost exactly a year later and the problem has started again. It starts up fine but am getting the odd stutter, usually when cruising at about 2500-3000 rpm. Would a distributor fail again that quickly? I hope not as they're not cheap...

Check your base idle/tps set to 600/750 rpm on tick over
and check plug leads as maybe oil on them in the spark plug wells
Dissys do tend to break down between 2500/4000 rpm once they get hot

Where did your replacement dizzy come from

How old is it, can you ask them to test it for you?

sad to say this company sold me a poorly recon dizzy masquerading as a new.
it looked good but the location spigot was 0.5mm undersize making it impossible to centralise it on the axis of the camshaft. Very noisy for the few seconds i let it run. They reimbursed me but I wouldnt trust them again.














it

Oh I see. Bugger. Despite looking the part it did seem a bit odd - the way it located meant I had to turn it to it's limit to get the correct timing. Any recommendations for where to get a good quality one, or brands that are known to be decent?

Micron I believe it is just over a year (by about 2 weeks). Unsure on their warranty period.

I purchased mine from RockAuto it only took a few days to get here.

Is it an early TOT57071?

I don't know to be honest. I wasn't aware there were multiple types. Is there a way to know which one I should have?
