    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Does anyone know if a condensor can be accurately checked with an ohm meter and what should the readings be if known my manual does not say alot on the subject, any help would be appreciated :?
 
If you must check the condensor speak to an auto electrician I am sorry I have no idea of the figures involved. Your other option due to the relatively low cost of a condensor is to just replace it and see if it helps

Thanks I seem to have found bad wires that send to the coils black and white replaced both wires, thanks again will be changing to electronic soon to save further trouble with this system thanks again
 
A condenser

A condenser

A condenser is a capacitor- they are either working- open -or shorted-- It is unusual for one to change value to the point where it would effect the operation of the circuit that it is in (( we are not talking about resonant circuts--just ignition)) If you can ese an ohm meter ((i love analogs meters for testing capacitors)) the first test is to see if the casing ((automotive type )) is shorted to the pigtail. --then if not shorted. a capacitor will show a rise and drop of the dial on an analog meter. On such a small capacitor as in an ignition system i dont know if it is noticable-- larger caps show a needle rising and then dropping back to zero--on smaller caps the rise and drop is much quicker--I AM SURE SOMEONE WILL EASILY BE ABLE TO ADD TO THIS INFORMATION
 
Scotty, that was an excellent explanation! I could not have done better. I would have only left people confused!
