Long story short, Last year my parents got a stilo, they gave me their 93 tempra 2.0 SW which had been getting tempra-mental (lol). 2 Days later the Stilo was returned as it was rubbish & I gave them back the Tempra. 8 months of deciding & mind changing later, I found them a nice Volvo V50 estate that they finally agreed on, they picked it up last Sunday.
We drove the 40 miles to the Volvo dealer in the Tempra & she went fine, in fact Dad gave her a final boot & hit 110mph before Mum had a go at him!
We then drove back & they dumped the Tempra at mine.
Today I had to get a load of car parts from east London. Jumped in the Tempra, started fine, went to the petrol station (1 stop & start), then went on to the days running around.
I`d guess I`ve stopped & started the engine about 8-10 times this afternoon & went back via my parents to drop the parts off.
3 hours later I decided to pop down the road, & guess what....
No start...
Now its done this several times in the last 5 years, maybe 5 times in the last year, & no one, me, 2 Fiat dealers, 2 Fiat specialists, green flag & the AA, have EVER been able to work out whats causing it...
Recent repacements include an Alternator, TDC sensor, dizzy cap, rotor, plugs & leads.
There is NO spark from the plug leads, there is a spark from the coil.
I checked the dizzy connections including joints under the screen, those relays, coil connector, ignition module connections, earths under coil, TDC connections, ECU plug removed & refixed, fuse box & all relays `jiggled`, ignition key rear swich plug etc etc etc
This is a pre-facelift 93 2.0i without an immobiliser.
Unfortunately I dont have my electrical tester on me so I cant check the dizzy wiring etc for consistancy.
Any ideas?
What are the 2 relays on the bulkhead under the plastic cover & what is the upside down blue ignition module looking thing? its got 1 module behind the coil as it is!
Cheers
