    Default No spark 4age

    Hi
    Not getting any spark from the coil
    have reset timing
    replaced spark plugs
    replaced dizzy cap and contact
    replaced ignition leads
    replaced whole dizzy and coil/ignitor
    (previous items where of a running car)

    double checked loom and made sure power is supplied to the correct place

    pretty much everything that was in the service manual
    not sure what else to check

    hey i copped this with my 4ac.

    if you know that you're power wire is the right one from the loom then i would suggest checking that the earth wire from the coil is wired to the right place...

    on the 4ac it gets wired to a screw on the distributor coz thats where it gets it timing from...

    i dunno if the 4age is wired the same but check it out (try wiring the earth from your coil to you distributor if there is provision for it) or if someone can back me up or say this is wrong?
