Ignition issue... dull / bright / dull
Discussion
Hi All...
Anyone got any ideas on this.
I've been testing my ignition spark by using sparkrites plug testers, the ones that light up.
From cold they light up but are dull but the engine starts
When the engine is running they are really bright
Turn engine off when at temperature and she won't restart and the spark is showing as dull again.
When the engine cools down it starts again
Any ideas 💡

long issue with hot starting
old school jaguar xj6
no electronics like throttle sensors, camshaft sensors or crank sensors.

Ignition system is currently electronic but there's no difference when I put the points distributor back on.
It's only today we noticed with the new sparkrite testers the difference in spark brightness with engine turning over and engine running
