a couple of coil packs on there and Jimmys also has a coil pack loom if yours has been cut about.

Thanks mate. I messaged him and he sold me a two trailing for £75 as they are the ones that seem to be weaker.

I ended up doing the wire mod with a switched relay to the coilpacks, ignitor, and condensor so they get a feed straight from the battery instead of the tired old wiring loom. The spark does seem to be alot better now. But got the others coilpacks just incase.

I'm going to put it back to together tonight and hopefully the bugger will start haha!

If I cant get it running and get sick of it I will let you know haha!

Got the car back together and tried starting it and it sounded like it wanted to go but couldnt get it started.

Stuck some oil in the spark plug holes and it started straight away. We kept it running for about 10minutes. All the smoke cleared and we had to keep it above 3k to keep it on, as it warmed up we could get the revs down to about 1500 but had to hold it there.

Eventually we tried to let it idle but it just bogged down and cut out. When we rev'd it, it sounded like it was missing badly.

When we tried to start it again after that big flames were coming out the back and it just wouldnt catch...

Also noticed the oil pressure gauge isnt working, the light comes on when your first turn the key though...

Any ideas? Hoping it isnt fatal!

I think its time for a compression test bud. Essex  rotary close to you? Dont know if he does mobile testing....get them all important comp numbers and go from there.
