Why a new coil if it is running 7 cylinders?? pull the lead off on the dizzy end and check the spark against the block

Do you have access to any known good spares that you can borrow to test it?


Range Rover Blues:
Mine did a coil when I drowned it, though it didn't sound like it was running on 7, though TBH when they are running on 7 they don't sound any different so it's more likley running on 5 if it's that bad.

Pete5844 as was:
No got no access to spares(may have rebuilt it by the time I've finished).Checked the spark then checked the spark on an old ford the rangie one looks very weak in comparison.Pete

Range Rover Blues:
Is the spark yellowy or blue? yellow=not good

Reggieroo:
The same thing happened to mine in deep water, it totally cut out, flooded the interior & it never ran on petrol again........ :'(

There are two small breather holes in the bottom of the dizzy that let the water in, that may have caused the damage.

You need to modify the dizzy with some breather pipes along with the other mods if you like wading.
