I was driving then the car started backfiring and making popping noises, had no power , and wont start it kicks over its getting fuel and getting spark from coil but not from the dizzy. what else do i need to check ??
Dizzy's timing could have slipped... Or maybe check inside the distributor for cap faults.
If you find nothing sinister but still suspect the dizzy, then the Advance/Retard mech may have failed !
