Rev counter gone crazy and juddering
I hit the accelerator and the revs stabilise after some more juddering. Used to do it when cold but now when warm.
Any ideas? HT Leads? Lift pump filter?

Car still runs badly
Don't think it was the earth connection.
Getting worse now. Does it at standstill……
Turn the car ON. Rev the car to around 2000, hold it there and suddenly the revs drop, engine wants to cut out, then suddenly the revs pick up to 2000 again for a little while and then the revs drop again (repeats itself). If I don't hold the accelerator pedal then the engine stops. I need to hold the accelerator pedal for the rev's to pick up again.
Sounds like the fuel is momentarily cutting off? Checked the dizzy and looks clean. CIS faulty? Think the rev counter is OK, the rev counter is a sign of another problem…….

I've had it back 2 weeks now and driven it twice - guess what, problem has returned!
Suggest we keep each other in the loop.

List of things I'm gona try;
- Connect fuel pump to ignition live. Will prove if the fuel pump is cutting out.
- Clean the 3 pin connector contacts near the dizzy. Aparently the red/white wire goes to the rev cntr.
- Fit a new ignition coil.
- …..
Mine only started to do it when the rainy season started. Was fine all summer. Hoping its damp leading to corrosion on contacts somewhere.

worth cleaning up the rev counter connection too, as this feed also triggers the fuel pump relay.

- cleaned TCI unit contacts and replaced the HT lead from coil to dizzy… WORKS now.
coil lead to dizzy looked dodgey. Had corrosion.
