Hey Everyone...
Quick run down of what happened just for reference sake. Driving home late saturday night, over took a car in 3rd on the highway, just as i went to back off and put it back in 5th i heard a slight pop, tacho needle drops to 0 and no dash lights come on... Still managed to drive the car home, but wasnt able to put my foot down... As soon as i did put my foot down, the car would sound like the fuel had been cut to the motor, drop a cylinder and would start decelerating rather quickly....
Have looked inside the dizzi (2nd hand dizzi with a new cap) all appears to be fine, have pulled out spark plugs and cleaned them (havnt put new ones in for a while - could be problem) swapped coil leads over to see if it was a dud coil.. still no love...
Still need to look at more things such as replacing spark plugs, and also checking spark leads.
Am a bit concerned as to why the tacho isnt working as the car idles fine....
Should i be looking at things such as o2 sensor and things like that?? Anyone else got any ideas?? Wont get around to looking at the car again till this arvo, but also have all day tomoz to sort it out...
