Hi, hope you can help. E reg Metro city started and ran lumpy. Having been fine 24hrs before. Died along the road. When recovered checked the plugs. Damp, definitely got fuel and air. Checked for spark. No spark on number 1, or 2, 3, 4.
Checked all the connections. All HT leads tight, all LT cons good. Gapped the plugs, tried no change.
Continuity checked LT all good. Voltage checked, LT, battery voltage everywhere it was expected. Disi cap removed and checked slightly burnt but not bad. This model has electronic ignition. No points to check.
Doing the easy stuff first, new plugs, new leads, new disi cap, new rotor arm and and new coil. Still not fixed. Still no spark.
I'm guessing that it's either an electronic ignition fault or worse. The Cobra immobiliser.
Stuck as what to do now. Help please.
