The starter turns ok, but there is no spark at the plugs. I fitted a new coil,(replaced the original one with a new Bosch electronic coil) cleaned the connections to the ignition amplifier, have a new distributor cap and rotor and new magnacore plug leads. As I said it is an intermitant fault that seems to come good if I try and start it later. Could it be an earthing problem or something? Any suggestions appreciated.   Chris Browne (Chris_browne) Senior Member Username: Chris_browne Post Number: 382 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 05:00 am:    96 3.9? Interesting over here in the US thats the year OBD2 kicked in, and we got multiple coils, 4.0 etc....... Maybe the ROW got lucky,   M.

We got the ignition amplifier, Stateside you guys got GEMS i believe? I have a connector plug under my dash for the diagnostic plug in. I take it it is ODB2 also?   Randall Smith (Mr_smith) Member Username: Mr_smith Post Number: 90 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 09:52 am:    Likely to be your ignition switch is faulty.
