coil and ignitor

[Fozz]

hey guys

my car suddenly lost spark today broke down on a round about anyways i checked and there is no spark coming from the coil and i wanted to see if the coil was broken or the ignitor was broken is there any way to test it? also what would cause it to suddenly lose spark. just before this happend my mechanic fixed my dizzy by switching around the wires which made my car run perfect so i was driving for about 5 mins and then it just stopped and now my car is broken again

I'm sorry yes i was completely wrong... i don't even know why i said it

obviously the ground is only there when the dizzy grounds the wire, to calapse the magnetic field etc.

so yes if you have continuous ground at the negative side of the coil then you have a problem....

i do believe that checking the positive side for 12V is a good start though

sorry again for the miss information, and any misleading that may have been caused.

That said I have already offered once before but you didn't seem interested in me coming to help sort it out?
