Hey all i recently replaced my dizzy with a reco one (new Crank Angle Sensor) and i thought i had fixed my problem with detenation, it did stop for the first day could get full throttle again then the next day driving to a mates house after about 2hrs driving is started missing and detenating real bad then for the next 2 days i couldnt get over bout 1/4 throttle without pinning and missfiring, i ran the self diagnosis and it came up with fault code 21 (ignition sensor circuit) does anyone know what is exactually in this circuit and how to test the items. I can only think that the coil and power transistor and Crank angle sensor are in this circuit.
Then on the way home it was all good again not detenating but still the fault code appears.
Someone help this is shitting me.

Lars you need to reset the cpu to remove the error code
I was confused now I'm just not so sure!!
RIP Peter (perfect) Brock....
Manual has how to reset computer.
High rpm breakdown sounds like high voltage leads.
Need to clean and dry all the connections - power transistor, inside dizzy, coil. Some say that the high tension heats up a little near the coil.
BUT RESET COMPUTER FIRST
Yeah all the treminals are cleen and dry, new leads cleaned the dizzy terminals and rotor button. The problem is still there so i need to find what is bringing up the error code i think. Then get this today went for a drive its 100% again, freakin cars i think i should just finish building my RB25/30 sooner.

code 21 is power resistor fault - my car is doing same deal - haven't solved it yet. If I put a spare plug in number one lead then the spark starts up and the motor runs on 5 cylinders - I reckon I have a motor earth problem. The spark does'nt want to earth through the plugs. If I clean the dizzy with metho then the car is good for a day or so. I reckon that moisture is getting into the dizzy. I have blow by at 3000rpm (worn rings I think) - don't know if the vapour makes it's way into the bottol of the dizzy???
