1984 200 turbo, no spark

quattro777 · 27-12-10, 10:25 PM

The man I bought the 100 GL from has a 1984 200 turbo automatic which won't spark.

It has had new injectors, fuel pump, dizzy, plugs, leads etc.

I don't know the full story yet as I haven't spoken to his mechanic but I said I'd ask on here for possible causes.

Thanks,
Daniel

We removed and earthed out a spark plug against the block, cranked her over and checked if there was absolutely no spark or if there was a weak, random spark...

With the dropped/sheared/knackered etc flywheel timing pin, we had a weak, random spark.

check the two pins in the flywheel, [are they there?], and the 3 wires to the dizzy, in case of breakage ,also what was done prior to its non sparking, ie any work done prior??
