Hi All,

Please can anyone help with the following problem?

1988 2 Litre 740 Gl with Boch K Jetronic fuel system & B200E Engine

The problem is that the car is intermittently cutting out, there is no
particular time to it, i can be cruising or accelerating seems to make no
difference. I had to wait around 5 minuites, the car would start normally
and drive fine untill the next time it stopped.

We have got to the point now where the car will only run for 2 or three
minutes before the engine stops. It stops as though the ignition key has
been turned off, it does not cough and splutter it just stops dead.

When the car is in it's non running mode IE just after stopping in the
period that it wont start there is no spark to the plugs but at all times
there is a 12 volt feed to the coil. All the coil resistances are within
specification.

My thoughts are either, Faulty coil, Hall effect switch in the distributor
or the ignition control unit.

Can anyone help with a definitive test procedure to determine which is at
fault?

Many Thanks

Alan
