4.0 won't start
Discussion
Hi,
My chimaera 4.0 '96 has decided to no longer start.
The battery is kept charged via an optimate charger so no problem there.
Checked dist cap and rotor arm, both look ok, no worn out contacts or carbon build up.
I suspect the ignition coil.
Any tips on the best way to diagnose this?
Is the best replacement the Bosch p/n PRC 6574
Regards
Brian

At last!!!!!!!
Just been for a 30min drive with no problems, just a slight miss under load.
Last thing I did was to clean the 'new' flooded plugs and add Wynn's Injector cleaner to the fuel.
Took a while to start then burst into life.
Guess the slight missfire must be a dodgy lead or heatshield.
Much happier again.

Hi all,
Summary of fault finding....
Replaced:
Coil, Ignition amp, sparkplugs and still had starting problems.
Added injector cleaner to fuel and it started up. (fuel was not old).
Still slight miss-fire under load so replaced plug leads.
Now running OK.
Thanks for all the help.
Kind Regards
Brian
