Hi All,
I have had the issue of no spark on my elan which i am currently rebuilding.
The car is an S3 with positive earth
I have tried my electronic ignition but did not get a spark
So removed it and fitted a new points and condenser
still no spark
I have the white wire from the loom going to the + on the coil
and the wire from the points going to the -
I have a new lucas gold coil fitted
checked resistance in ohms through the coil and (+ and HT exit) and get around 18,000 ohms resistance
can some one PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
I now have no idea what is wrong and not enough experience to resolve the issue.
If some one from the north west of england is willing to pay me a visit in there elan and help out it would be most appreciated.
thanks
