Car got all wet and has been struggling starting, but has struggled on.

Today I took off the coil pack and dried it out because it refused to start. And still it refuses to start !

The spark is very weak from the coil - I can hold the king lead terminal while cranking the engine and I can feel the HT Clicking, but it's not uncomfortable.


NEW COIL ?

shit not haveing to much luck are you mate, what coil is on it? if its one what im useing on something then your welcome to try one to see if thats the problem so you dont wast money if its something else


cheers

It's a 12301 Coil mate,

Yeah had a few headaches, but luckilly i have a very understanding and gorgeous girlfriend that drops me off at work when it's dead.

But when it is running, jesus it's good fun, as you saw .

New coil will be here in the morning, so should be sorted! Woohoo.

sounds similar to mine atm but im not sure if mines a weak spark or not sparking at all, mine only does it in a very cold morning or when its raining

Doing my rat in now this.

New genuine Renault coil fitted, still extremely weak spark.

Only thing I can think now is ignition module

im assuming you checked the dizzy. howd it get wet? rain with the bonnet off, or driving through a river crossing? plugs could be fried, pos the ht leads too. electricity and water dont mix at all. could have fried a lot of stuff.

Faulty condensor would cause weak spark.

It was the ignition module, sorted now !

Getting to be a bit of a demon with these engines now haha

is there a test i can do for mine? and how do you manage to pin point the exact electrical problem?
