That's play in the 2 gears that mesh to drive it. This may not be a spark problem at all. You probably want to monitor the fuel supply when this happens. That spark test is not real accurate anyway. That cylinder may be losing spark or maybe it just has better insulation in the wire and the pen can't pick it up through the insulation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

That pen isn't going to tell you the kV voltage. It could be running on 2 kV and lighting that pen up. You should use a spark tester, preferably an adjustable one to see how far the spark is able to jump which is an indicator of coil health. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved. robster User Sep 30, 2014, 9:36 AM Post #28 of 29 (1041 views) Re: Distributor / misfire/hesitation issues Sign In hi guys, my ignition coil is overheating, really hot. whats causing it? should i get a new one? the car starts but not reving, it hesitates when reving Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 30, 2014, 10:33 AM Post #29 of 29 (1035 views) Re: Distributor / misfire/hesitation issues Sign In Hmmm? Time to check that ignition points are set properly, parts are to specification. I'm not going to have specifications for tune up anything for this but could get close with another British Leland's car with a 4 cylinder with this type of ignition system is about it. Without much for tools some tell-tale signs are metal transfer at the points themselves. If one small point has a peak and the other a hole matching not intended hole that some might have that's an indication that condenser isn't matched to system but don't think that makes a coil hot alone but could result in excessive resistance for that coil? Most would quit running totally till those problems were solved so have to think on it and what you could do, T 1 2  View All Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
