Dizzy fitment

Hi!,
Sorry to hear that you are still having probs. Try here for some answers

Pictures speak louder than words. You will need a multimeter to do some of the checks, but its less frustrating. Basically it is a process of elimination. Other than that you are going to have to learn how to pull the diagnostic codes from the ecu.
Not sure what fuse you are talking about, but clearly any electrical component should be functioning. Would be worth checking for voltage at various sensors, most importantly the ecu itself.
Was the car working before you changed the dizzy? If so, it can only be something you have touched to fix it. It would be worth checking something as simple as a fuse. The simple things are often overlooked!
Good Luck!

I took a few piccys of the setup on my 7A before i took it apart,

1st image is position of the dizzy in the head,

2nd image shows the the two marks inside the dist..

Both taken at TDC.

Having finally got my new dizzy........This may sound a bit dumb to those pros out there but how is it aligned?....
Does is have to be set with the engine tdc?
Any help please!!!

p.s on the plus side manifold and pipe polished....

Good picture (no.2) Thats how it should be. It might be worth removing the immo to make sure that it isnt anything to do with that.

Got it running now. Runs by itself, starts ok but very very lumpy. Almost sounds like a misfire and seems to be running very rich. A sensor on top of the im is broken. Any ideas why?
Thanks

[audiman]

Cos you broke it??? Which sensor? The inlet air temp sensor? How did you make it run?

[Greenm3]

p.s when turning the steering she tries to stall...im a bit low on hydralic fluid but i dont think that should afftet it (but i havent a clue)....bloody amatures.....

[Greenm3]

Yea i broke it! in frustration.......just kept turning it over while rotating the dizzy untill it started i had a feeling i was out. And i was! But it's that little sensor with the two allen bolts on top.

[audiman]

Thats the one IAT. ******, best get a new one then

[Greenm3]

So would that make it run lumpy? ( I love these technical terms)

[audiman]

Maybe, what have you done to the dizzy? Where are the marks now?

[Greenm3]

Basicaly ive turned it to where the car will start and run, which must be the correct position for it as it wont start at any onther orientation, i dont have much skin left on my hands!

[twoqu]

Well done!
Not very scientific, but hell, it works!
So basically you didn't quite get the alignment right. Not surprising due to the marks located all over the engine.

Double check the HT lead positions
Remove spakplugplug and see if one or more is wet
Double check the HT lead positions
Remove injector plugs one by one when engine idling and listen if it makes a difference
Double check the HT lead positions

WEll having taken the morning off to sleep in i started on my diagnosis......it is misfoiring on cylinders 3,4 and 5 !!!!! and she still starts hahaha...thought i could smell fuel in the exhaust!!!! lol.....now i have to find out if its plugs or lead related.
