Lack of lubrication

Inlet or exhaust manifold leaking

Out-of-balance impeller shaft

Engine “pinking”

High boost pressure, caused by faulty wastegate valve

Fuel octane rating too low

Faulty TDC sensor (ignition advanced)

Incorrect spark plugs or plug gaps, or spark plugs worn

Indicated boost pressure too high

Faulty wastegate valve

Ice forming in exhaust pipe (during very cold weather)

Power loss/indicated boost pressure too low

Turbocharger leaking, or leak at turbocharger mounting

Incorrectly adjusted wastegate valve/wastegate valve not closing

Blocked exhaust pipe

Clogged air cleaner element

Faulty TDC sensor (ignition retarded)

Turbo/intercooler connecting hose leaking

Oil leaks from shaft oil seals, with blue exhaust
fumes

Worn oil seals

10 Ignition system

General

1 The ignition systems dealt with in this
Section are all fully electronic and are referred
to individually according to type as the
“breakerless”, Microplex and Digiplex 2
system. The Microplex system is used on the
1301 and 1372 cc Turbo ie engines, the
Digiplex 2 on the 1372 cc ie engine and the
“breakerless” system on all other models.

Ignition timing
(all later models)

#

2 The ignition timing check on all systems
covered in this Section is made using a
stroboscope, connected up in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions and pointed at
one of the two positions given below (photos).
a)

The timing marks on the crankshaft pulley
and the timing cover. The right-hand
underwing shield will need to be
detached and removed to allow access to
view these marks (see photos 7B.27 and
7B.30B in this Chapter).

b)

The timing marks on the flywheel and the
clutch housing. The rubber plug will need
to be extracted for access to these marks.

3 A dwell angle check is not possible on any
of these systems.
4 When making the stroboscopic ignition
timing check it is necessary to disconnect the
vacuum hose from the distributor or inlet
manifold to module (as applicable) and plug it.
The engine must be at its normal operating
temperature and running at the normal
specified idle speed when making the check.
Refer to the appropriate part of the Specifica-
tions at the start of this Chapter for the idle
speed and ignition settings.

Breakerless ignition system -
description

5 On 903 cc engines, the distributor is driven
from an extension of the oil pump driveshaft
which is geared to the camshaft.
