Hi guys, The old ute is up to it's tricks again and refuses to start, it turns over but won't fire. I recently replaced the crank angle sensor because this was playing up. Also the plugs and leads are pretty new. I've deduced that there is no spark getting to the leads, this makes me think the coil pack is gone, but from what i've read, they seem to make the car run rough before they completely die. Is this true or can they let go without any warning?
Another quick question, which may tie it all in, is when i took the number 5 lead off the plug, the contact was coated in a type of blueish powder. Has anyone seen this before? could this play some part in why the car won't start? Cheers for any help!! Chad |
