I.C.E & Electrical / 1.3 Starting Issues
https://www.vwgolfmk2.co.uk/clubforum/index.php?topic=249.0
Hello 👋🏼
In a current quest to get the golf running again, I appear to have no spark or fuel. It does however turn over
Starting with spark, I'm confident the wiring has all been plugged in correctly, I've checked it back against wiring diagram and had a second pair of eyes to confirm also. I've also checked all the continuity from TCI unit back to all terminals, and from block to battery negative also.
There is however a very real possibility that at some point over the past several years I've done this incorrectly, particularly when it comes to the ignition coil. Having checked the primary and secondary winding resistances, they both seem to be out of range and therefore I'm thinking this may be the (or a) culprit. It's a 1990 1.3. I'm new to using multimeters, so have photos below with my work
I'd really appreciate anyone's help with this please, even if only to point out I've done something catastrophically wrong!!
Thanks in advance
