I am having problems with my ignition.
I have a ra23 most of you guys have seen the car before,
heres the story..
I was driving home and the car stalled and would not start. i called the NRMA and the dude was pretty good he used what he refered to as a "box of sparks" to get the car started. this was enough to wake up the cars ignition system but it needs fixing. as i have never had anything to do with ignition systems i dont know where to start.
Can i replace the current system and retain the stock computer?
would the jaycar kit work on an 8 plug engine?
Also has anyone here got a xa22/23 with a subwoofer and where the hell did you put it.
the fuel tank is behind the seat so i think if you put the sub in the boot you may not hear it..
anyone put a sub under the glove box??

the 3TGTE's ignition system is not controlled by the factory computer, it uses conventional vacuum & weights for advance, so you can do what you want with it and it wont affect the computer.
as for the sub, i had an RX4 with the tank in the boot, and you could definately hear the sub, but forget the fully sic subwoofer & do some mods on the motor! engine kilowatts are far sweeter sounding than amplifier watts!

gday
if this happened to me i would be replacing the ignition coils first but with trusted and known names like bosch or MSD etc.
you can get those bosch coils from supercheap i think they are about $50 each....the stock 3tgte uses two

If the ignition module is gone you have a couple of options
1. Find the original good luck
2. Use 2 X bosch module from an EFI magna use the coils also, mount the modules on a heat sink using heat sink paste if you want them to last. Because you are running two modules you must supply the dizzy signal to both modules.
3. Use a CA20 module and coils form a pintara. The CA20 is a dual spark engine => dual channel module, I am not sure what if any dwell is given between channels.
I have had good luck with option 2 and option 3, I suggest option 2.
Option 2 & 3 you may as well get rid of the knock control computer if you are running one.
Try the coils first.
