Basically in short, there is no electric current going through to the engine. I have scanned it and there are no codes or any data appearing.

Also, just to add on to that. I have had to change the distributor four times because every time I change it, it lasts for a maximum of three minutes then it goes out and there is no current again and so I am scared to change it again. Any help is very much appreciated please.

Hello,

It sounds like you have a ground cable that is not connected, can you check to see if there is a ground strap or cable from the frame to the engine?

Please let us know what you find.

Cheers, Ken

Hi Ken,

Thanks for response, I have checked the cable, and there is a ground cable connected, so I have attached another cable but to no avail.
