1.2 spi Nova wont start?

[Richy12]

wont start so i changed the dizzy cap, rotar arm and fuel filter. cars getting fuel and theres power to the dizzy cap but no spark? any help?

[monty_trials]

HT and LT leads maybe?

[Richy12]

tried the leads off my sri with no success

[monty_trials]

how you know dizzy is working?

[monty_trials]

has this dizzy got points?

[Richy12]

rotar is turning, new rotar, new cap. checked the lead to the dizzy and it has power

[marc69]

I had this on mine years ago, it was the bit that sits under the coil, I took it off a 1.2i Corsa B in the scrap yard to test.

[mowgli]

or spark plugs perhaps

[meritlover]

If the plugs are wet then the distributer pick up is working and injector is triggered. Problem then must lie on the ign side. as suggested, try the ignitor under the coil or check the coax with a cope to see if theres a sq wave

[Richy12]

Replaced the coil and the part under it. Still no spark

[Richy12]

Anyone any advice/ideas?

[Richy12]

anyone?? im starting to think its the ignition switch or the distributor?

[jafanan]

if theres power going to the dizzy it has the be it surely?

[mowgli]

have you ascertained that the rotor is actually turning when you crank it over, and that the cambelt is timed correctly?? people have had the cambelt break before or even jump a couple of teeth

[Richy12]

Yes I have the cap off and cranked the car and the rotor turns. I will have to check the timing but there is no power going to the spark plugs at present.
