Nurburg EMERGENCY!

[Noodle_Soup]

Guys, i need some help, advice and possibly even some spares! Im supposed to be taking my 12 to the nurburg ring in about 10days! unfortuneately she has just up and decided that she wont run anymore!

was driving fine with some mods just getting her ready to be rolling roaded and set up then she just stopped, and now has no spark!

I have been plugging probes and scopes and everything (bar the kitchen sink!) into her to try and work out the bother.
Seemingly she needs some brain surgery...there is a signal going into the ECU from the Dizzy, but there is nothing coming out of the ECU going to the coil(amplifier thingy) so no spark and no fire....

i dont know if anyone on here has experienced similar, or indded if they can help, but im desperate...and its a bloody long walk to germany!

dont know if theres a difference between manual and auto brains, but mine was factory auto and i have converted it to manual....


PLEASE HELP!!


regards Ben

i do think there is a difference, but i would not make it not start as i've tried a manual brain in my auto, i do have a spare ecu if you need one though

Nothing, it's principally just a toll road.

as 30 said mate, just turn up in a suitable car...anything goes really, saw an old citroen DS going around as well as race spec M3's and vipers. and as long as its not a test day for the manufacturers or a race day you just pay your monies and have a laugh!

21 euros a lap, but the price goes down if you buy in bulk!

and its awesome!!
