MYSTERY car won't start anymore 1.2i 1992
Basically nova kept cutting out when driving, gradually getting worse and taking about ten-20 mins of turning over to eventually fire, would run and sometimes cut out again. Now won't start at all! I have tried changing distributors and coils, has live to coil and sparks when ignition is turned on but doesn't spark when the engine is turning over.. Someone must know what the f&*k is wrong , Very wierd! Cheers all!

Replaced the ignition module/amplifier? Is it wired in correctly? Sounds maybe like balast resisor aswell
