K11 Power Loss

[CMF_cory]

My wife and I recently moved to AU and bought 2 micras, both 96, and are loving them.

One of them though has been having the, apparently all too common, random power loss. After taking it to a shop to have the codes read, and reading through multiple posts on this and other forums, it seems like the distributor is faulty and the crank angle sensor specifically.

Have been looking into new and used dizzys but the cost has been a little excessive and it seems silly to replace the whole thing when only the CAS is faulty.

Does it seem like I am on the right track here? And where would I find a CAS?

i think you,ll find that the k11 cas is an oddball one tbh cory (different to GA,s and SR,s) tho the coils may be the same ?

Welcome Cory, your not so far from me. I'm out Berwick way.
Anyway dizzys are a problem, another member here 'mycra' has I believe successfully overhauled one for himself. You might want to message him to get more details.
There is also a company called Nardek www.nardek.com.au who sell reconditioned ones for about $350.

Thanks guys for the replies.

mipcar- I will check out Nardek and find 'mycra' to pick his brain.

At this point I am trying to work out whether I need a whole new distributor of if popping in a new cas will solve my issue...
