She's running again! Was the pickup module in the distributor. Thanks for your help.

Okay, tried that last night, wire straight from battery to positive on coil but same result. I took the ignition module out of the distributor to try and test. Should there be resistance between the 2 terminals? I have no resistance anywhere on the module when testing.

Hey Martin,
Thanks for your help.

So I should technically be able to wire a hot lead straight from the battery to the positive terminal on the distributor to test the ignition pickup inside the distributor right? If the car runs then I'll know the problem is between the switch and the dist.

... a Nissan S Cargo which has the E15(S) engine in there I believe. The car is barely idling and the only way I got it to do this was by pushing the distributor as far back as it allowed, if I slide it forward then it pretty much conks out. I'm putting this down to timing and I wonder if the timing ...

... The Mr's was in the passenger seat and said to me, "Don't you DARE do that again!". 2 hours later, and a tow home, I pulled apart the distributor. Sure enough, the CAS was rooted. 2nd time this has happened now... grrr.... IMG_3856.jpg I've ordered a NEW CAS (Previously I had a few ...

... it misses on idle and coughs and hesitates when I try to accelerate. I've cleaned up and actually replaced the carburetor, replaced spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, ignition coil, nothing seems to make a difference. The engine will also start on three cylinders rather often but after a ...
