It really is basic stuff! After the winter break the car won't start. Unfortunately, the last thing I did before the break was to pull out the old fuel injection wiring, but the car was running ok after. So... There is no spark at the plugs and none from the centre contact in the dizzy cap. Car cranks over fine. Battery is good and on charge as I write. With the ignition on, should I get 12v at the terminal that receives power from the ignition? I get nothing. I assumed that would be the issue, yet when I tried connecting the input terminal of the coil directly to the battery, still no spark. Any suggestions gratefully received (as always). Is there anything obvious I'm not checking? __________________ Lemurs of the world rise up!
