Probs with mk1 SC conversion

Post by mk1sc »

Hi guys!

I have just completed fitting a 4AGZE engine to my Mk1.
Have had it running on the spot and pulled it around my drive without a problem.
It was when i decided to take it down the street that it decided to cut out on me, and not restart.

I have found there is no spark... power is all still there to the ignitor and through all my adapted wiring but its not actually firing. Its a MAP sensored engine.
Any thoughts...
I have checked fuses and all wiring, nowt wrong there....
Cheers.

are you checking for a spark at the plugs or at the coil?

If its a MAP sensor GZE then its a levin engine with DLI setup and a wasted spark system so you have two 'coils' as such.

Its really hard to say what the issue is, i don't suppose you've missed off the main earth strap to the gearbox or something like that?

As Paul said really. difficult one.
