'92 Astina cutting out?
Hi All
Been awhile...........Astina has been running fine up until a week or two ago. Starts spot on and runs for about 10minutes down the road , then it stumbles and cuts out. Engine starts straight up again(or turn off then on again) and doesn't do it again till the next time it's started from cold? Seems to do it about the same time when it happens. Any pointers? |

Oh well, problem developing. Starts, runs for about 30secs to a minute and cuts out(if it starts at all). Checked spark, car fired up, then cut out. Checked again, no spark and no start just winds over. Put my spare coil on and no different. New coil to dizzy lead and still no good. Anything else?

test the igniter and see if there's a problem
also check the cam angle sensor in the dissy

Ok..........pulled everything apart. Found ignitor and it looks like the original one. Bought a new replacement for $80 and while I was at it got a new coil. I'll put them in when I get a chance and see how I go.
BTW diagnostic was showing an "Ignition circuit" fault(code 2) |

For all interested......Put new coil and ignitor in, still throwing #2 code. Started okay then stops like before. Thought I'd take out dissy and have a look. Found a small amount of oil leaking into dissy but more interesting I found the disc that spins in the cam angle sensor had a smal kink in it and you can see where part of it wearing against sensor. Put disc out of spare dissy in and bingo off it went.................
Still might get another sensor though........... |
