went to bunnings yesty in the ole ea, drove fine, mind you i have been having problems with the battery goin flat as she has been sitting in the garage lately and not getting driven, ( had a jumper pack in the boot ) anyways
came out of bunnings, battery was dead, fine, got the pack out, put it on, motor cranked and ИИИИed and farted with a touch of sputtering, lol, wouldnt start, thought you mongrel, got a lift home, got a battery out of another ea, went back to bunnings put that in, motor would just crank and crank and crank, no starting, so i thought ИИИИ it i will get you home later, went home waited till bout 9, went back with the only car available, a 1989 ford laser with towbar!!!! Flat towed my ea home, up hills too we were cacking ourselves, GO LASER!!! lol, Anyways got home, took the tow rope off, tried to roll start the car in the driveway and she started and now runs fine, one other thing i forgot to mention is that i checkED spark when it wouldnt start by pulling no.1 lead and it had none, Im wondering if the coil is starting to play up, its Niko's dodgy wiring lmao or was a fuel blockage but it wouldnt explain the no spark, What do ya's reckon? Cheers lads

sounds like what happened to my car. Coil was stuffed, ran ok when cold but when temps rose it was all over. Had a rooted TFI module as well
