I've got 1.0 Pug 106

its a TU9 engine with a carb and electonic dizzy based ignition

the other day it suddenly cut out on me at motorway speed - complete with comedy puff of smoke

After I'd pulled over I tried it again, and it started and everything seemed normal - then it happend again, got it home and this time it stopped while it was ticking over

anyway, I found a couple of things that were causing a little bit of a fuel leak at the carb - but I've got no spark

the weard bit is you get 1 spark as you turn the ignition off ?????

I've got another coil to try as the resistances wern't quite right - but I doubt its the problem

any thoughts ??

Sounds like the trigger unit in the dizzy or possibly the ign amp. In both cases they tend to pack up when hot & quite often recover when coooled down. No easy way to confirm one or the other without swapping parts unless you have anything which will measure low voltage waveforms.HTH
Edited to say that as you get one spark as you turn ign off, the amp is probably ok, more likely to be the dizzy which was my first thought anyway.

I kind of thought as much

anyone know which cars had these dizzys - 106, 205, AX ???

is it just the carb'd ones I can use?
or are the dizzy's from the early single point injection cars the same ??

failing that where could I get a recon'd one?

replace the ignition amplifier before the dizzy, mor likely to be that.

amp, used to keep a selection for ax,s 106,s and metro,s in the recovery truck a few years ago

thanks everyone

if the coil doesn't sort it then I know what to try next

like everything else on the car that hasn't been touched before, I just have to say its done well to last this long (15 years & 104k miles)

thanks again to everyone - it was the amp

£72 from peugeot and would take at least 5 days

....or £32 from the motorfactor in stock
