4G63 L200 Mystery unit.. Ignition trigger???

Post by L200W3RK5 »

Gday people, after getting my license back after 4 years (i have a serious Suzuki RGV problem) i picked my old ute up off my mates property and its looking a bit sad :(

not for long.... but my main problem is im not getting a spark from the coil. ive replaced the Ignition module and coil, both new and still nothing. even a hot wire, no spark. Im getting all accs, stereo, starter all cranking but no damn spark
:facepalm:

i have a workshop chassis manual for a MA '79 which does help but mines a 85 MD which has the 4G63 sirrus which the MA didnt have. hence the wiring diag would be slightly different..??

BUT... i think i just found the weak link, alas i dont know what it is:

This is wired coming from the neg on the coil, the other to the ignition module and the unit itself is earthed

The dizzy is the electric type, screw-on cap, early 4G63 starion/scorpian.

Im hoping that ive found the problem, but i need to know what im asking for when i go to bursons on monday morning

Cheers! :thumpsup:

I love the L200's, I have had 2 over the years. If I had another I would go GE SE front end I think :)
