Not a nova, but my XR2 !
Can't get onto the XROC so thought i'l have a shot on here.
Basically, The car was randomly loosing spark from the king lead... then it'd regain spark, then loose it. Sometimes it'd run fine; but then it'd start getting this intermitent problem.
I've recently replaced the Ignition module/Amp which sits on the distributor as i thought this might be the likely cause for the intermitant problem, along with replacing the Dizzy cap and Rotor Arm as they were also fubar'd .
Now it's started doing it again, i've managed to get it going again and it ran home ok, and seems to run fine at the minute.
I could set about replacing the coil, but i don't really have the cash to be wasting if i'm not sure what the problem is. I was also advised that the coil would tend to go completely, not have an intermitent fault !
Any ideas ?
