Ignition Issues
Guy's,
My Cobra has had cold start issues for a while now, lots of cranking
and running like a dog until its warm, then it runs and starts normally.
I have been away for a few weeks and wanted to sort the Cobra out
before the next run. I charged the battery on Saturday and tried to start the
car on Sunday. It cranked for a while and started but then stopped. It cranked
again then smoke came out and it wouldnt fire. I called the RACV and while I
was waiting the coil exploded. He replaced the coil and said it was dizzy
related. He put a long stick with a wodden end onto the dizzy and made it
spark, so he said it was one of the sensors in the Scorcher dizzy. I dropped
the dizzy to Scorcher and they are saying it is OK, it is 18 years old so they
are giving it a birthday. So where to from here????
I am running an MSD and MOTEC M48 also.
Could it be the MSD? or a switch ?? NFI
