Figured it out, it was the dizzy. But of course now another problem has risen. My ignition module burnt out, $230 to waste and because I wasn't given the receipt I had to buy a new one which was $550. New coil as well, but my question is, why on earth would my ignition module be burning out? I haven't yet driven with the new module because it gets pretty hot just sitting there in idol so I would like to rectify the problem. Any ideas? Timing is 11-12 BTDC. I've got new plugs to go in but surely the spark plugs wouldn't effect the module to much as I'm sure they're still okay. I've also cleaned up the battery terminals, checked on battery earth and cleaned up the bolts and body where the ignition module goes (I think the module has a ground wire and doesn't ground through the case, but done it for the hell of it)
The little resistor or whatever it is ontop of the module gives out a slight zapping sensation when touched, nothing fatal and also when I chuck the test lamp on it it illuminates, is that normal, can somebody check? With the coil and using the test lamp on it what should I be seeing, illumination when the ignition is on but car not running on both + and -. What should it be doing when running or cranking the engine? Overall my module is heating up to much and wondering what the cause is, crappy electrical stuff.
