Hi mate,

Just had the same problem on my turbo. There is a wire coming from the coil to some where; bur it is connected using one of those blocks. I replaced it on the weekend and now it is OK. I'll send a pic. later.

Marc , sorry to hear car is infested with electrical Gremlins. The distributor caps are a bit of a sloppy fit(aftermarket caps can be worse) I would deff check out low voltage side of coil circuit with a multimeter. Old wires (especially in engine compartment) can become brittle from exposure to heat and oil . Although they look O.K.ish on the outside , internally the wire is broken and has no continuity. A realy bad wire for this is the one from the coil to the distributor. Also the wiring in the distributor (to the baseplate , which has to move) suffers greatly.I think a clue to this is the rev-counter not working. As your car is nearly 30 yrs old , you are going to get this stuff hapening

Sorry to hear u have yet more problems......

I had exactly the same thing on my old 205 gti and it was as the others have suggested a loose wire on the coil, caused a very interesting moment overtaking a car going up a hill with a car coming in the opposite direction, what was a safe gap very soon closed up!!!

Your rev counter is also supplied by from the same terminal on the coil so thats why you get both problems at once.

Hope you manage to sort it.

Wonder if the engine moving around due to broken mount, is yanking your coil L.T. lead?
