well done... I have a spark after changing the ignition module! next problem... the distributor cap started to go up in flames (it was broken on the part that goes to the coil lead) and when i tried to take the rotor arm off the last owner must have glued it on...

anyway, the problem about it stalling. i suppose i'm asking rubjonny as he knows everything ;-) - i've cleaned the ISV and that is ok... however there seems to be a slight fuel leak on the fuel pump.. :( but that was never noticed before.. apart from that maybe causing an issue, is there anything else that would cause it to stall?

cheers

most 16v rotor arms I've seen have been glued on, I just use a pair of mole grips to destroy them :grin:
as for cutting out, most common cause of this on a 16v is the idle/mixture being set wrong, theres a nice how2 in the faq section :)
