Hello all, After putting my 74 spit in to have the carpet replaced (completed and looks great - the guy I used cut all the carpet himself and fitted it) and seats redone (half way done, but looking good). I have an ignition problem. I followed up to see how the work went and ever since the centre fascia was removed to install the carpet the car won't fire up.
The symptoms are: The car will turn over when the key is turned to the start position. I hear the starter motor turning and the engine fires up and I see the Tach move. However, once the key is returned to the ignition posiiton the car shuts down. If you hold the key at the start position and hit the gas I have temporarily (very temporarily) got the rpm's on the tach up to 3000 rpm, but as soon as the key is released from the start position. Over the 10 years I have owned the car I have gotten more familiar with the electrical working of LBC's than I would have liked. However, prior to mucking around under the dash I thought I might ask for some direction so I don't turn a 15 minutes job into a 4 hour (or longer job) searching for the problem. Thanks, Jim Cullen 74 spitfire *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
