help - tin top problems (again)
I've got 1.0 Pug 106
its a TU9 engine with a carb and electonic dizzy based ignition
the other day it suddenly cut out on me at motorway speed - complete with comedy puff of smoke 
After I'd pulled over I tried it again, and it started and everything seemed normal - then it happend again, got it home and this time it
stopped while it was ticking over
anyway, I found a couple of things that were causing a little bit of a fuel leak at the carb - but I've got no spark
the weard bit is you get 1 spark as you turn the ignition off ?????
I've got another coil to try as the resistances wern't quite right - but I doubt its the problem
any thoughts ??

Sounds like the trigger unit in the dizzy or possibly the ign amp. In both cases they tend to pack up when hot & quite often recover when coooled
down. No easy way to confirm one or the other without swapping parts unless you have anything which will measure low voltage waveforms.HTH
Edited to say that as you get one spark as you turn ign off, the amp is probably ok, more likely to be the dizzy which was my first thought anyway.

I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names

I kind of thought as much 
anyone know which cars had these dizzys - 106, 205, AX ???
is it just the carb'd ones I can use?
or are the dizzy's from the early single point injection cars the same ??
failing that where could I get a recon'd one?

thanks everyone
if the coil doesn't sort it then I know what to try next
like everything else on the car that hasn't been touched before, I just have to say its done well to last this long (15 years & 104k
miles)

thanks again to everyone - it was the amp
£72 from peugeot and would take at least 5 days 
....or £32 from the motorfactor in stock
