Den83 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hi all, Just finished putting in the engine in my 1800 manta and it starts perfect but it wont stay running. the weird thing is that the car will stay running if i hold the key fully turned but if i let my hand off the key it will cut out. I have good power in the wire coming from the igntion to the coil all the time. But the power seems to drop after it goes through the coil like there is something drawing the power to keep the car running.. Could this mean my coil is in trouble or could it be the resistor that is bolted onto the coil?? Any help would be much appreciated! , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi. The power to the coil (black wire ) should be at 12v when the ignition is turned on.this also feeds the electronic ign module. There should be no resistor fitted because they require a 12v feed unlike earlier non electronic models which had a resistor WIRE in the loom .
