any ideas guys wilma still wont start, no spark, well saying no spark i removed the plug and rested it on one of the lifting eyes spun it over and no spark, fuel pump whirs over fine? whats the best place to check if fuel is coming through?

off to buy leads and coil possibly in a minute

to check for fuel, remove the cover over the inlet manifold to reveal the fuel rail then remove the fuel inlet pipe and crank the engine over

[katbloke]

right i removed the main fuel pipe going to the inlet manifold span it and its bone dry, is there anywhere else to look perhaps for blockages, could it need bleeding?

fitted new coil no difference, new cap new r/arm.

seems to have stemmed from perhaps letting her run low on fuel even though the light never came on.

so you have no spark and no fuel just like holl, try and test the TDC sensor, test the resistance between the two wires on it, should be 200 +/- 50 ohms

Willy lover, ive just removed battery, airbox, removed/cleaned and replaced tdc, sprayed carb cleaner into the throttle body area, refitted airbox body and battery and after a qwik cough and a splutter she runs fine.

Many thanks mate.

Holl, go buy a brand new tdc, like you i had no fuel and no spark now shes running again
