Now a coil is playing up!?

Don't ya hate days like that?  You have my understanding and sympathy.

A few days ago I had a similar day, where what you really need is a beer, but with such crap luck, you'd probably poke an eye out with it or something.

You might need a new ignition box, but check first.  Can you swap the coils and move the cold holes around?  Could be lucky (BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA) and find out that the one coil is breaking down under load, but works when tested with a meter.

Good gawd Andy, you are too funny...poke your eye out with a beer :lol:

Gareth, my sympathies. Try and borrow a ignition module before you buy one.

Does a fellow FJ'er (close to you) have one he can send you?  Try it out for a day then send it back to him.

After all...That's the way we roll here...

G'day,

Well the new secondhand ignitor box should arrive tomorrow, god I hope that solves the issues!  I always knew she was going to be a rolling restoration, but sometimes I reckon she's bloody well alive!

Cheers, Gareth
