TVR S2 Ignition Coil

[HugoS2]

Hello!

I have experienced several issues with my 1990 TVR S2 2.9 theese days: weird speedo, burned fuse... I think this is caused by my ignition coil. It is a completly blanck coil, so I don't know at all what it was.
I have changed it with one I had in my garage (stupid idea), a Bosh Blue coil, 12 Volts, reference 0 221 119 027. My speedo is now working fine, the car starts on key, but I have now some rattles when the car iddles. I think this coil isn't the right one.
I have ordered two new coils, thinking that one of then would fit, given for the Sierra 2.9:
- BERU ZS566, 12 volts
- BOSCH 0 221 122 450, the red coil, 14 volts...

The bosch is given as a substitute for the Motorcraft 102 72 83, but I wold like to be sure that it'll work... Any opinion about that?

Hi Philpot,

Thanks for your answer. The coil I had on the car was silver. It looks like a Lucas.
Is there a difference between à 12 volts and a 14 volts? Is one of them gone burn my electronic ignition?

Well.... I finaly went for a Bosh, made for transistorised ignitions, the engine runs better, but I still have misfires at low RPM...
MisterTee, could you give me the reference of your Lucas Coil? I'll try that one too. It both of them doesn't work, I'll know it's not that.

PS: Do you think that the Spark Plugs could be the cause?

The fact is that the car was fine before I had coil issues...

I have canceled the Beru. I have already checked all the loose connections. My HT Leads are brand new, made of Silicone.

I have received the DLB125 and fitted it to the car. It was that. The Lucas coil work perfectly and the car now runs great! Thanks a lot for your help!
