No spark

[Anonymous]

Suddenly my Corsa 1988 1.4i (Cat) stopped. I have checked and there is no spark at all.
I have also connected one sparkplug directly to the cable from the ign.coil and still no spark.
I took apart the connector with the four pins and checked the voltage. I checked it between the pins and the battery (-). I had 12 V between the battery (-) and the black wire but no voltage between the others.

Has anyone got an idea of what?s wrong or where I can get a electrical wireing diagram?

I imaging that Opel Corsa 1,4i CAT is eqvivillent to the Vauxhall Nova 1,4i petrol, with Catalytic converter.

if it has an electronic controlled timing dizzy on it, then i'd replace that! mine did the same thing on a gte tho. changed alsorts on it but it turned out it was the dizzy! try and get yours tested at a Lucas tuning centre. they did mine for me! 8quid + vat. its worth it!!!

If loving my pint is wrong, i dont wanna be right!

Hi dj4man!

What's a timing dizzy?

most injection engine have electronic timing. its controlled by the ecu. the dizzy sends signals to the ignition module (under the coil) which creates the spark. if the dizzy isnt working then the coil wont spark cos nothin is sending power to the coil. but will u stil get a 12v reading at the coil. the ecu tells it when to fire!
