The electronic ignition on my 186 red motor (Toyota Caoster conversion) has died, there is no spark at all . I have replaced: modulator, coil, dizzy cap, rotor button, ignition leads, all to no avail. What else can be wrong? Have I replaced the wiring correctly, positive to positive side of coil?

Hi manxboy2.
Is this a Bosch HEI dissy of a Blue motor 173/202. If it is, the most common fail is the reluctor pick-up. They fail far more often than the module, but the poor old module gets the blame every time.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Hi Phil.
There are only 2 electronic components in a Bosch HEI dissy, the little black 4-pin module(you've already replaced) & on the inside is the pick-up coil with the 6 'pointy bits' on its inner diameter. Inside that is the 6 pointed rotor attached |

I can`t thank you enough. That is obviously the problem. A pity the local auto lecky`s are not so well informed. Cheers, Phil
