    Help car will not start, possible dizzy?

    Ok so now I have another issue. My car will not start, it seems the it has something to do with the dizzy. Like a sparking issue. The car started up normally this morning around 8am. Around 10am I removed the valve cover to adjust the gasket and to add a little silicone. Around 3pm I was leaving for work but the car would not start. At first it seemed like the starter, maybe the ground wiggled loose (happened to me before). Or a bad power or ground connection somewhere. But after ruling those out I looked towards the dizzy. While in the car trying to start it I saw a small puff of smoke come from the direction of the dizzy. I stop looked and tried again, same thing. After sitting there for a minute(about 30minutes) and afterwards it started. I drove it to work. Idle was just a tad bit off but not noticeable. After getting to work around 4pm. I tried to crank it again and the same thing happened. Unfortantlty I was late for work and couldn't investigate further. So now I'm at work wondering what's wrong and how am I getting home. Anyone have a idea of what it could be?

    Just FYI , my cb has a f20b with a internal obd2 dizzy. Converted to operate with the obd 1 system. So the dizzy has a internal coil.

      It can be a number of things it can be the ecm ignitor on the coil. It looks like a little chip thing on the inside of the coil which has a little screw that grounds onto it.

      Check your fuses too to be certain you should check the cap and rotor aswell too if its orange inside you should be wary as your dizzy is on the way out of its in need of replacement. The next thing you should also check the uhh cap if it was orange and the rotor to see if its melted.
