Answers:

My car almost starts, but not quite?

Check to see if the distributor rotor is turning when you crank the engine over. If not, the timing chain is broken or the distributor shaft gear pin is sheared off.

Dose it have an igniton module inside the distributor or points. Either or, check that.

what size wheels will fit my car?

Do you have power to the coil? 2.Did you clean the points? Is the condensor tight? Are the points properly gapped? Was it running before you replaced these parts? It could be that the distrbutor is installed incorrectly.Could be a bad coil connection.The negative side of the coil goes to the points.

Problem starting 49cc ATV pullstart is locked up, can anyone help?

After you have tryed all of the rest check to see if there is battery voltage at the coil. One wire got to one side of the coil and the other comes from the coil and to the points.
Is there voltage there? Also you changed all of the above but what about the condenser. If it is bad it will not fire.
Also try this run a wire from the battery to the coil and crank. If it now starts you have a broken wire most likly at the starter.

My J reg golf failed its MOT on the horn, apparently it sticks on sometimes. Any one any idea how much this?


Here is why. All Gms get the voltage from the starter to the key then every where else. Check that you dont have a fuseable link at the starter open. Pull gently on all the wires. If it straches then it is melted inside and open.

i need a light for my truck?

ok,theres a junction box on the firewall,where theres wires hooked up to it.change that and see if it starts.and what the point gap you got the points set at.when i had a car that had points,i set mine a 17 thousands.if you dont have a feelers guage,a book of matches will work fine.good luck.you got a good truck there!

galaxy ignition relay overheats and car cuts out?

replace the ignition module, it's inside the distriburator, it has all the wires going to it, I believe it has 4 plug ins, be sure when you put the new one in you clean the base good inside the distriburator where it rests and smear that little tube of dialectric grease on the base of the new module and a little inside the distriburator where it rests.
