driving to town the other day and the engine died dash lights came on
it was like it run out of fuel but there's over 3/4 on the gauge
tried roll starting it but nothing stopped on the side of the road tried starting it but wouldnt but just flattened the battery
tried jump starting it still no joy
looked through all the wiring and all looks good nothing loss fuses all good
can hear the fuel pump is priming getting power everywhere but no bang,if pump shit itself would it still prime?
running an lt 10 and x4 trigger and coil pack
multimetre said it's getting power from the coils if you put it in the end of the leads just no firing
any idea's anyone,

be careful though because there are three different types, and three different prices, all under $200 however.

so pull yours out of the dizzy, take it down to your local parts store (supercheap up here had no idea about it, i went to global) and match them up there, as there is ZERO refund given for most ignition components, so you dont want to get it wrong

good to hear its sorted.

25 years must be about the life of factory cas, seems to be a recuring problem now days

Ooohh shit yer.
When you think about the conditions those eletronic components are asked to operate under, its surprising that they last any time at all!!

Sweet thanks for that.
My car starts and runs fine then just dies. So it sounds exactly like whats happening.

Old Petroject number 36011.
Should be the same CAS as a Nissan VG30 (Navara, Pathfinder, Terrano, Murano et-al) so plenty still about.

They come in "Internally" and "Externally" threaded types most commonly.

Easy to tell without removing them as there are 3 small screw heads on the bottmom of the dissie for the internally threaded version and just 3 small holes for the externally threaded type.

Dont piss about with second hand CAS's unless your real desperate to just get going.
