Hi all
I start my k reg G40 the other day, it started i touched the throttle the vehicle then back fired ran for about 30 sec the cut out.
i have change the coil pack as there is no spark, that made no difference.
what else do i need to check.
thanks Keith
Hi, welcome to the forum.
so is there still no spark? Are the spark plug, ht leads, rotor arm and dizzy cap all ok? The coil you've put on, is it a new one and/or have you tried it on another polo to see if it definitely works?
When you try to start do you hear the fuel pump at the back prime (make a short whirr)?
could be the hall sender in the dizzy or an ecu relay (they both have a habit of giving an intermittant fault)
does it crank and turn over??? or just do nothing when you try to start it?

I removed the main lead from the coil and earth it to the engine and got no spark, so I thin the dizzy is ok, the vehicle will crack over and I use a new coil to check.
I have not checked the fuel pump yet but I will do
the ECU relay what colour is it and is it next to the ECU?
Thanks for responding so quickly
Keith
its one of the two relays next to the ecu
it sounds like a poor ground or poor coil to be honest
thanks for the help. it was the dizzy
