				Hi guys, recently i've been having a cranking issue that is getting gradually worse.  No longer starts at all, no spark. In the past 2 weeks ive changed the distributor, Ignition coil, dizzy cap, rotor, starter, leads and plugs. This post has been edited by PolliS_5S-FE: May 11, 2011 - 9:41 PM |
