Re: Rangie wont go
firing order, coil, timing ??? Could be so many things but I would start there. (not that Im a mechanic)
Toy - Zuk chassis tub, hilux 4.88 axles and transfer, Nissan CA18DE motor and auto trans, sc12 supercharger, 32 10'5 simex, twin motor 8274 custom freespool. Well the parts are all there in various corners of the shed

Re: Rangie wont go
have checked firing order, it's fine, there is spark at the leads and plugs, the only option is to reset the timing i think, not sure how to do that with electronic ingition. does that nke a diffrence?. is it a matter of taking out #1 plug and getting TDC. I havent done this before so dont want to stuff it completly.
Re: Rangie wont go
open up the lid of the electronic ignition unit and see if theres any crap in there. Resetting the timing is as normal
Re: Rangie wont go
early coils tend to go faulty without warning, dont know what rangie you have, carb/efi

Have twin carbs on it, spent till about 10pm last night on truck. Found that timing was out, had to replace all the leads, the vacum advance wasnt working, and there was an air leak on one of the carbs. now it's running fantastic I can get full revs under load without the backfiring.
