gbethell96 0 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 My Carina E isn't getting a spark so I'm replacing plugs, HT Leads, rotor arm and distributor cap, only problem is I cannot find a distributor cap anywhere. Replacement part is a Blue Print ADT314243 but is no longer manufactured or available anywhere. Don't suppose anybody has any ideas on a suitable replacement? It's a 1994 1.6 with the 4A-FE engine, I've attached a couple of photos of the old cap for reference. Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gbethell96 0 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Yes pretty sure it's got the lean burn engine. Just waiting for the new HT leads to arrive and if no joy then I'll look into checking the coil. Is it an easy job to check? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flash22 656 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 If you have a multimeter check the resistance of the coil also make sure the coil is getting power If not................... Take the lead off the dizzy cap from the coil, place it near a ground - do not hold by hand, crank the car over Another basic check is turn the car over and make sure the dizzy is turning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gbethell96 0 Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Great thank you, I will try and dig out the multimeter and give this a go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
