Well i was driving my ride today and she decided to play up and stop,

now she wont start only cranks...

but sometimes she does start, but for aslong as she wants to.. then stops, ive tested the leads and theres no spark when she wont start after cranking.. the coil works.

crank angle?

ignition moduel?

or something else?

the crank angle sensor part of the distributor is the likely problem, they eventually do wear out, a reconditioned exchange one from an autoelectrician
is easiest

is it easy to replace yourself?

yes its fairly easly just about 10 little screws and 8mm on rotor button ,,,ur fault could also be the power transistor on the front of dissy there ,,held by 2 10mm bolts

thanks, i just did a computer test and no fault codes came up, but can parts be a problem even if it wont show on the computer test?
