Hello everyone, a mate of mine was given a EL GLi because it supposedly had Electric Problems. The previos owner said. All electrics work, therefore there must be power and the motor turns over and trying to start. but there is no spark. Please help if you have any ideas.

if not try another coil or dizzy in it

Yeah forgot about the crt fuse. But if that is ok it will be the tfi. Its a common problem, had the same issue with my EL, which is why i got it so cheap :) changed the tfi and away she went. The guy was spuin i fixed it so easy he thought it had major problems. I even told him it was the tfi before i bought it, his loss my gain.

The hall effect sensor on the inside of the dizzy can go bad too causing no spark, plus coils.
