If it was running before you changed the dizzy cap it must be something you've done. Methodically trace your steps and ensure you've plugged in everything you unplugged.....

My money is still on the leads being in the wrong order.... :wink:

As a foot note, if it's doing your head in that much, call it a night and go back to it when you've got your faculties back....
