Inrtermittant spark!

Post

Back to the top
I've  started a new topic so I can outline what I've done and really need your help! I keep getting an intermittent spark ⚡️ 
I've re grounded the car I've changed the 
Ignition coil
Icm 
Leads 
Fuel pump relay
Plugs and also the distributor
Coil is earthed dizzy is earthed and still nothing? I had a good spark for about 2 hours and now Gor the last 4 hours nothing 
I have power going to coil and icm 1/4 the volts on the coil are 12 and it's not loosing any power when I crank it so not sure really what else to try, 
Any ideas would be helpful 

I can't even get a spark directly from the coil it's self so I don't think it's even reaching the dizzy  so I change that I've changed everything

Great running cars are a lot like good bed times.....Timing is everything.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Thanks guys all is going ok I have spark and I can even get her to fire, and with throttle she goes for s bit  but then dies, I had an issue with the cold start valve but then gave it power and now it starts however once it starts it then dies about 40 seconds in and won't idle I've change the metering head as mine was a jh engine and had some sort of sensor on it so that's all In and it's a bit better but still won't idle, and then once it does start it then won't start again for 10 minutes it's like the engine floods ??? Any ideas ??
