No spark. Need spark.. Pleeeease
Hi guys kindly please advise if. You can.
Vw dictator, mp9, 2e suddenly died off whilst driving.
There is no spark
During diagnosis I removed the dizzy to see if there is any response when I manually spin it.
When I spin the dizzy it only signals the fuel but doesn't spark. I'm using the coil HT lead to test for spark against ground
Any suggestions on where I can check next
It's using tp100 and a 2pin coil, they get very hot when ignition is on.
I tried to connect pin 4 (12+)of the tp100 and coil + directly to the 12v battery supply but still no spark.
I have also checked the tp100 ground and it's fine.
I rewired the three cables from the tp 100 to dizzy.
Should I. Maybe just should I just get the 3pin coil and put that in instead or maybe get another tp100 or coil?
I will greatly appreciate any input thanks. I have checked the forums for advise but I haven't found any thing else to check

Re: No spark. Need spark.. Pleeeease
I think you should try a 3 pin and see if it solves the problem, just give it a try

Re: No spark. Need spark.. Pleeeease
Thanks I managed to wire the 3 pin and hallelujah fire.
Is it OK to run the distributor on 12v from ignition. I think the tp100 supplies 5v to the dizzy?
My tachometer is gone how do I get it back

If it is the old spec square dash, you need to buy the tacho adaptor from Dicktator and install.

Re: No spark. Need spark.. Pleeeease
Thanks guys will look for it on their website.
The 3 pin coil that I put in burned out after after driving about 200km in the rain.
My coil charge time is 2500 might this be the cause?
