So now I got no spark. Traced it back to the resistor that sits on the coil. It has power coming in but non going out to the dizzy. Damn there hard to find!!! Anyone got a spare?

ok, so replaced the computer and got into the diagnostic mode today, found out its my afm, coil and water temp sensor. replaced afm with the spare i had and got new coil. it started. yay, just runs like shit when up to temp and wont start when its warm. ordered temp sensor from autobarn, $23 and will arrive tomorow. fingers crossed it will be all good :)

Hey Sash, What type of coil did you end up buying? And did the new temp sensor fix the problem? I'm having a fairly similar issue where my one idles fine but when you out a load on it, the engine just struggles. Hopefully you have the answer i need

i just got a coil that looked the same, was a bit smaller but i wrapped it in a bit of cardboard.
yeh temp sensor sorta fixed it, code still kept coming up on computer, but it did pull hard, even with a FUCKED engine.
but i never had the same not starting issues again....
does urs sorta stutter around half to full throttle?
