Ride: EL XR6 5spd

First post of the year so it might as well be a dead car help me post..

Getting nothing out of the coil. TFI pulses but the red power wire is dead. No blown fuses or relays that I can tell. No ECU errors. Unsure where to look next :roll:

plz :)))))

Seems to be the season for dead ignition systems....

Have you checked the coil, appears to be a common fault lately.

Maybe not wrong about it being seasonal. It died after standing in 200mm of rain in about 48hrs. I am assuming that with nothing coming out of the power wire the problem is upstream from the coil.

Do you have power on the red wire on injector plugs and on the idle solenoid.
It could be the ecu power relay, it could be the main plug up near the firewall, or it could be aftermarket alarm/immob if fitted

It most certainly is the season for dead ignition systems.
We just had to do plugs and leads on the new AU after it died on Sunday.
