What's inside an Ignitor Unit?
Right, I've got the fuel pump working, but now I can't get a spark.
Late last night as I was testing the circuits I dropped the lead from the ignitor unit to the coil. It sparked as it hit the chassis and popped the
main 30amp fuse. Up until that point it my test lamp was flashing when I turned the engine over. Now all four leads to the coils are +12V all the
time.
Is it f0cked? Is it something you can repair / replace valves, resistors or is it full of microchips etc?

Whats inside?....liquorice allsorts stuck to plastic which somehow makes things work which beats the hell out of me how and why!!
That will be pumffed now as i did something similar with one of the coils on a Triumph motor........£90 expensive butter finger moments really hurt.

Once had the chance to ask an engineer about a similar module on a car..his answer..oh a few diodes, resistors, capacitors and an FM chip..so i ask
