Hi Guys, sorry this is a question as my first and that I'm not a Micra March owner. I'm working on my wifes Figaro and unfortunately their forums tend to be less technically inclined.
Here's the story so far
I had a set of new HT leads, a rotor arm and distributor plus plugs to fit . I fitted the plugs first and then started the car ,all good. Removed and fitted cap, rotor and leads and it wouldn't start .
No spark at the plugs .
I replaced the old cap and rotor and still no spark at the plugs.
Checked the coil next and no spark from the king lead
I couldn't find any dislodged leads ( seperate earth and 4 lead block on top of CAS only ?)
I ran a fault code check but I'd had to pull the battery to recharge so don't know if that wiped it but even after attempting to start several times it came back as 44 , no fault found .
It may just be coincidence that something else chose then to stop working but I've no idea of what tests to run or circuits to check ( have a multimeter and the ability ).
Am I correct that the CAS works on an earth switch basis so that injectors are constantly live as is the coil ?
I have a 2 pin plug on the coil which has one terminal live when ignition on , if I bridge that with the multimetter and spin the engine will that show 'switching' if the CAS is working ?
Any other ways of checking the CAS is OK and continuity of wiring ?
I had a spark at the kinglead at the coil to start with but that has disappeared no hence I'm thinkiking either coil or CAS . Anyway to check the coil ?
Thanks for reading and any help you can offer.
