Hi all,

I had the car out yesterday. Drove for 12 miles with no problem. Then, all of a sudden, the car just died and I cannot start it since. I have a new fuel pump and coil fitted since last year and it has electronic ignition and on looking further it looks like I don't have any spark.

Any advice would be most welcome...

Is the electonic ignition ok?
Are all the wires connected?

Put the old coil back on - new coils are not known for reliability..... But also check there is power getting TO the coil. This the problem with electronic ign - when it fails, it's v difficult to find a fault - except by direct substitution. Could be the HT of course - so try another rotor arm/dizzy cap/HT lead from the coil......
