1991 1.9i petrol Engine problems - Nev zx
Hi hope you can help,
I have a Citroen ZX Volcane 1.9i petrol. J reg. With electronic ignition and no cat.
The engine cut out whilst driving the car, and refuses to restart. The car has been in the garage, looked at by the RAC several times, and I have had a mobile mechanic look at it. No one can find the fault. The mobile mechanic put an indicator box on one of the plug leads, and earth, the car started and ran until the engine was turned off, there were sparks jumping across the coil leads to ground, replaced the coil and amplifier, engine will not start, had the ECU checked by a garage, 14 faults registered, sent ECU away to be checked, OK no problem with the ECU. There is no spark at the plugs or fuel into the injectors when the engine is turned over with the ignition on. The rev counter seems to register 2000 revs, when the engine is turned over. It is a good car, and I am getting desperate to find the fault, anybody got any ideas PLEASE.
