My 85 T3, with rebuilt motor and new heads has an intermitent engine drop dead which the mechanic can't find. Hence my user name! Moving ignition wiring seems to do a temp fix but it soon stops again. Distributor to idle stabiliser wires show continuity. What can I do as it is Christmas close down!
Thanks in advance.
I had something similar
Would drive along and the car would die - but oil/gen lights would'nt come on.
Was the electronic ignition cutting out.
For $100 - 200 i would wack a 009 and points in and see if that fixes it
Oh.... 😂 welcome to the fun house 😂

G'day Greedy53 and Bizzare, thanks for the tips. I have now found the gremlin, residing in the allegedly waterproof box on top of the coil containing two relays. Corroded contacts on these and an intermitent voltage path, noticed when I moved wires with motor running, I could hear a spark jump. Corrosion from blown water pump spraying coolant all over engine bay some years ago must have done that! Bug..r!
Engine now running sweetly, fingers crossed.
