Who knows what this is off? Electronic Ignition

[MNC]

My FJ40 running a 2F has been set up with a distributor with electroinc ignition (no points). It is aftermarket and was set up by previous owner so I dont know what it is out of.

Unfortunately the Ignitor has died.

Does anyone reckognise what make & model it is (no writing on it to identify )??? So I can replace it... Cheers,

Is the pulse generator in the dizzy the old magnetic type or shutter wheel-hall or optical light?

If its magnetic (generates an ac voltage) you could use a horse shoe module out of early Mitsis or Mazdas, the two inner pins go to the generator and the outter larger ones coil positive and negative

It might be a Lumenition.... they were popular about 20 yrs ago .....they placed a blade inside the dizzy ...with 1 blade per cylinder & it spun breaking an opitcal sensor when it spun.
Were the latest thing before electromagnetic dizzies came out.
Were great as the opitcal sensor replaced the points.

Looks like Lumenition.

Thanks guys but I dont think it is Lumenition. There is definitely no optical LED set up in the Distributor.

It has a spinning rotor that passes contacts as it goes - kinda looks like this (best photo I could find online at short notice...):

I dont know the difference between magnetic type or shutter wheel-hall but now you mention it Mitsubishi Galant is ringing some bells - could that be right? If so any idea what years I should be looking for???

If it helps this is a photo I got of the internals...

An electronics place might be able to fix it for you? Like somewhere that fixes ecu's

Cheers, do you know of a place in Auckland?

PM Big_al. He got his ECU fixed by someone local i think

Thats a sealed unit. Need pic of the dizzy internals to identify what it might be.
If you have a good local Auto sparky he might be able to sorce a direct replacement, worth a go...

OK, I'll get a pic of the dizzy internals - prob wont be for a couple of weeks though...

I had a sparky take a look (as I suck at electrics) and asked him to recommend something but haven't heard back from him...

I was really hoping to get a direct replacement from a wrecker - would have to be the cheapest fix - but I don't know what vehicle make, model, or year I'm looking for

might be easier and less mucking around to shove a standard points dizzy back in there Matt?

Yeah, you may be right. Was hoping to keep the electric ignition but I want to get this truck out in the mud so that may be the best short term fix...
