How do I diagnose my ignition problem if it’s the CDI box
How do I diagnose my ignition problem if it’s the CD box? I have a 1974 911, with 95,445 miles. I was driving down the freeway when I felt the engine quit tried to accelerate it backfired and then quit so I had to pull over and park it on the side of the freeway. Luckily I was able to call A relative who is an auto mechanic. He removed the distributor cap and rotor and told me to crank the engine over and he used the screwdriver to see if he could get any sparks and he said there was no electricity going to the points so he said he thought it was the condenser. So would that be right or, do I need to check further and how would you check to see if it is the CD box? I have no understanding of electronics or electricity in a car system. I’m hoping how to figure this out before just buying parts in putting in the engine compartment and finding out that it wasn’t that. Any good information is welcomed. Thank you, Marion Fisk
