Thread: Engine miss when warmed up.Disco 1996 3.9

Just sent my spare coil to member Michael2 in Bayswater, you could ask him if he still wants it as he decided to go for one of my Bosch conversions instead: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/technical-...sch-024-a.html Ask him how long his car runs with a GT40 coil.

Thanks Bee utey, I sent Michael2 a PM. So what happens with the GT40 and how long does it last. I was just going to use it to get going until I can sort something out. I want the car going for Saturday AULRO meet.

Has anyone else got a spare coil I could use to test with to get thing running in the short term. I don't want to cause any more problems.

Cheers, David.

BTW ... Does your model have that spider alarm ... If it does, then get a bypass plug for it .... available at where the coil is ......

^^^^ Just in case you missed this ^^^ He'll post it to ya

Give PhillipA a PM


Mike

Michael2 got back to me and the coil just arrived from Bee utey. He said I can have it to get me going again (Thanks Michael). I will go and pick it up tonight and let you know how it goes.

He told me that the GT40 eventually cooked his Amp so I will give that path a miss.

Cheers, David.

Update.
Looks like I have it sorted. I picked up an original coil from another AULRO member last night and put it in today. It started no problems. I put the old one back in for a test and no go. So looks like it was definently the coil playing up. Did a 30km test loop and ran very smooth and more responsive. I'll test over the next few days but hopefully good now.

Thanks for your advice and generous offer of parts guys.

Cheers, David.

PS: I had a bit of a panic on the road test. When I was comming back into town I heard a loud wrrring noise from the engine bay so pulled over and thought WHAT NOW. It was the Viscouc fan kicking in, Prooves it was not work in the past before I just changed it last week. lol!

Good to hear. I still want to find a spare quality coil for the traveling spares after my experience!
