My 94 Classic cranks but i am getting no spark.
The car ran fine - needed a tune so i replaced plugs, Plug leads, ignition amplifier on the side of the distributor, coil, rotor arm and now she will not start.
I traced the fault to no spark at the end of the leads. I took the coil HT lead and checked for a spark against the body - no spark. The small wires at the two connections on the coil both have voltage when the ignition is turned on. The fuses in the main fuse box were checked - the one for the ECU (the red fuse) had blown. I changed it - still no spark. There are no fault codes on the display.

I am baffled.

Did you swap the connectors that attach to the coil? If those are backwards then you'll never receive spark.

If it was running before, have you thought about refitting the old ignition amplifier.. it would rule out a duff new one..

great suggestions. I will do the swap just in case.
What colour wires go to which side? just to be sure.

problem solved.
Miggit you were bang on the money.
A new amplifier straight out of the box and it was as good as tits on a fish...
All fixed now.
Thanks for the help as always.

:thumb: Glad it's all up and running... some times fitting new parts can be the wrong way to go.. I had 3 dud new spark plugs once out of a box of 10... threw the lot back at the supplier... but there was a lot of head banging while I worked out what the fault was, after the initial panic, followed by despair and ending in great depression, I walked away had a few cigarettes and a cupper... and it was then that I remembered that I'd suffered a dud plug on a single cylinder engine at work a few months before, and it was the same make of plugs that I was using for the Range Rover... refitted the old ones and I was a lot happier that the supplier of the plugs :lol:
