General HELP with 70SX, Ignition FAULTS HELP PLEASE

[br4duk]

Hi every1, Ive just found ya forum and looking good.

I need some help.

1988 70SX 1299cc and the HT lead that connects to the coil has snapped away from the coil.
I am amsuming that This needs replaceding but are dubious bout paying the price for a new part which might not sort the fault.

I looked in a local motor store and the part is totally different yet they said the concectors might screw out.

The coil accepts four connectors for the earth and live, connected by push on connectors and the ht lead conets in the middle, where the conector is broke???

Can i savage parts from other fiats?????????
AS 70SX uno mk1 are like Rockinghorse s**t to find

Yours

BRAD

Custard Boy Yeah mate the plastic part where the HT lead connects to the coil has snapped.

Whilst driving under heavy acceleration it misfired a lil sometimes, and i noticed the fault first whilst on the mway, and i had to floor the car to get it to move, like really misfiring not moving.

The one from the shop is a larger coil, the same as the haynes book, with screw on to connect the primary and secondary windings are lilttle clips, not screw bolts like the one from my parts shop.

Its a 1988 Mk1 70sx 1299cc model.

Cheers
