After the car stops and will not immediately restart, spray starting fluid into the intake to make sure it is a spark problem, not a fuel problem (e.g., the fuel pump working intermittently).

Hey PeterKZ,
Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.
My Troubleshooting was not complicated at all. As I mentioned it was a long story made short for the forum. The original fault/defect was the car hesitated/spluttered/stopped & wouldn't re-start, Nil spark. The original fault changed after the CDI repair, hence the forum question.
Each part was replaced & tested, then original re-installed & I moved onto the next step, (I now have a good shelf of spares) until I determined it was caused by the CDI, even tho it was whinging/buzzing. The C8 capacitor was blown, and whilst I had the CDI apart I replaced the SCR/THY due to it can also cause the defect. But......the new SCR looked like it was the incorrect voltage/spec. Correct SCR/THY re-installed and the defect has now disappeared. Car is back to normal.
Thanks again for your input & time to reply.
