coil

[BIG D]

car wont start checked power up to coil connection is 3 pin from left to right earth,ignition earth,and live is this correct if so there is no power coming out of the coil i have tested it with a tester do you know of any other way to test it if not does this mean the coil is knacked if so how much would it cost me to buy a new one for a 93 cl 1.4


thanks for any info

yep it's the coil. new ones are around £40 -50. clean both ends of the earth strap and its mounting points when you put your new one on.

When my coil went i replaced it off a skoda felicia from a scrappy, cost me a fiver, and is still working fine 15 months later

i replaced the old coil with a band new one the car ran for about 2 Min's and the car cut out while i was revving it and now it wont start i have have got the same problem as before any other ideas

[mrwotto]

have you tested for a spark at the plugs?

[BIG D]

yes there isn't any power coming out of the coil it seems to be dead Even though its brand new but it did work but then it cut out while i was revving it and wont start

[mrwotto]

I know this may sound daft, but have you got power going into the coil?

If so its the coil, it may be a dodgy coil, even new parts can be broke lol

[BIG D]

does anyone know how to test to see if the coil is faulty

[mrwotto]

You need a multimeter / 12volt circuit tester, if there is power coming in via the live feed and nothing coming out of the coil then the coil is dead.

Hope this helps
