:evil: What the hell is wrong with these cars? After starting up all winter to be moved around and not driven anywhere I go to put the cabby back on the road and no go. I have no spark. the plugs are new last year as well as the distributer cap. what else could it be. I should get a medal for most thinks gone wrong since owning a car.

Check the coil...............

Also check the blue wire from the Alt as that is needed...

Is the coil giving spark,,,,,

Tony, I think I have a spare coil from my old Evil Rabbit. It's yours if that's the case.

okay, I went over every connection and found the ground wire at the battery terminal loose. I tightened it. It worked. :oops:
Finaly the cabby is back on the road. Still have the crappy idle though, and concept 1 couldn't even fix it. wierd.
