Can someone please tell me which way the ht leads connect to the dizzy cap.

I changed it and the car now wont start, so I am thinking I put them on back the wrong way.

I am pretty sure about 1 and 2, but not sure about 3 and 4.

Thanks.

Thanks mate.

Well thats not the problem then.

I changed fuel filter, sparks, dizzy cap and rotor arm and now it wont start. Engine turns over but wont fire up.

Any ideas?

I have checked the directional flow of the fuel filter and made sure fuse was put back in.

The filter is different to the one I had one (both Vauxhall). Old one was part number 25320277, new one is 25313359. Could that matter?

Did it run before you changed the bits?

Has you ballsed up the timing by accident?

Right, car runs again. How? I put the old fuel filter back in. All other parts are new. I did not touch the timing.

I phoned Vauxhall to check the part number, and they told me this new fuel filter superseeded the old one. Problem is it don't work! Like I said, I checked and double checked the directional flow of the filter.

I'll start another thread to see if anyone else with a Corsa B has used one of the new filters.

Cheers all.

Maybe a dodgy filter. You tried blowing through it?

You reckon? No I didn't try that. Things full of fuel now, but I'll drain it out and give that a go.

So you don't think there is an issue with the part not being compatible?

Dean, you are a champ!

Filter was blocked. Managed to blow a hole through it. Refitted it and works a treat
