It only seems to restart if I wiggle the coil wires or remove/refit the dizzy cap or turn the ignition key on and off????? I recently went from Manchester to a rock festival at donington park and it broke down 15 mins into the journey. The RAC came out and changed a clamp on the live wire connected to the coil. The van then drove like a dream all the way to the festival, even stopping at a tescos in Stoke while I bought some provisions. We reached the festival and parked up but we were parked on a slant. I was going to straighten the van on some wheel chocks but the engine cut out and wouldn't start. I decided to leave the van were it was. 3 days later when I went to drive home the van still wouldn't start. Again removing/refitting the dizzy and turning the ignition on and off seemed to coincidently start it up I have twice taken it to an auto electrician who said they don't exactly know what the problem is and when I contact other auto electricians they say they don't work on old cars. I have an optical lens lumenition ignition system installed. I have changed the power module, dizzy cap, coil, HT Leads and spark plugs. I am at my wits end as to what the problem could be. I just need an auto electrician who can find the problem without the need to plug a computer into it ---------------------- |

I have already taken it to Plunketts, twice, and they couldn't fix it but I'll definitely try the others. Thanks Bluebedouin |
