I was looking today, the coil i have now cleaned up but still no spark i have checked that fuel is coming through. It is pumping in to the chambers i think there was a lot of pressure behind the fuel when i undid the hose.

I was wonder how the is setup do these engines have a crank position sensor ???? if so any pics, if not what do they use.

any other ideas would also be a great help.

anyone one got a spare ignition coil plugs leads and distributor laying around that all work for sale???????????

Hiya,

The crank angle sensor is built into the dizzy itself.

If you know how to run the Self Diagnosis process on the s12, you will get an error code No.11, if the CAS is faulty.

Hope this helps

Ian.

its in the dizzy??? how could i check this??? or should i change the distributor for one we know works. Anyone got one for sale?

Hiya,
Yep the CAS is in the dizzy.

The control unit for the self diagnosis proceedure is behind the trim panel on the passenger side footwell. Remove the trim panel and you will see the control unit, if I remember correctly, you will have to remove the mounting screws for the unit and turn it round (as the lamps that display the fault codes are facing away from you) - but leave the harness connected.

There is also a diagnosis mode selector switch, which you will have to turn with a screwdriver.

If you do a search on this board, there should be a thread on here that lays out the self diagnosis prceedure.

Hope this helps

.

Or if you know someone else with an s12, I guess you could just try their dizzy on your car, to see if that solves the problem.

Let us know how you get on

.

Regards,
Ian.

Hi thanks for the response the s12 lump isn't in a silvia or bluebird so i'm not sure where they would have put the fault screen, is it attached to the ecu?

yeah £10 sounds good to me, if you would try it before you send that would be brilliant so i know that this one is definitely working as appossed to mine that i have no idea if its working.
Did you have something else as well as you put coil twice, sorry.

Thanks again

What car are you using it in? The ECU has the fault code lights on it visible from the side
