No spark at plugs..

Post by rob needs »

As you know I am selling my Javelin,this morning it was running, this afternoon it wont start for the first time in years. I have a Lumenition optronic fitted to the car. I took the front plugs out and turned the engine on the handle with ignition on,but cant see any spark with plugs touching steel.

I cant see anything obvious like loose wires anywhere,not my dept this. What can i start with checking,i do have spare coils

Well i put the new Lumenition ignition on and and after a bit of this and that i got a spark. It even started on the handle from cold which it doesn't normally do. I still dont know if it was that in the first place, but the new owner Peter took it home to liverpool without any problems.

Great! Another member down the road from me. Hope he can make it to the Port Sunlight event. Have NEVER come across the Lumenition ignition system so couldn't be of any help whatsover. Not that I know that much anyway!
