WildPlumDx Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 well my brother vitara with g16a wont start and i cant work it out ive tested the coil pack and i'm getting 11.8 with the ignition on so i guess that fine but i'm getting no spark looked at the dizzy bt everything looks ok the dizzy rota could be replaced as its pitted but the weird thing was it went fine then bang no spark ? also it hasnt got your normal contacts rather then the small caliper type open close little aligator type thing it has no moving parts bar the dizzy rota of course, just a what looks like a little box magnet instead of those little jaws they usally have? so i dunno whats the haps there but yeah no spark but getting 11.8 reading from the coil pack with the ignition on acc ? any help ?
