As you probably know I've been having trouble with my car cutting out and it now does it regularly (i.e everytime you drive it for more than 10 mins) Well I took it round to see a mechanic tonight and he noticed a crack round the back of the dizzy cap and you could see sparks jumping about while the engine was idling. Now would this actually cause the car to cut out? He said he can't be sure, but he said it's a start and that he'll replace the cap and rotor arm for me and we'll go from there. Edited by: TomGTi
Yes, quite easily. If the spark's escaping to the outside of your dizzy, then it ain't getting to the plugs inside yer bores. Gaz
