Ignition Condenser

[cheezels]

Hi

Our W116, D Jet, is having starting issues. The engine cranks, but will not fire.

I think the ignition was left on "accessories" for about 10 minutes, which caused the issue.

I've pulled the lead off the distributor (from the coil), and there is a weak spark between the conductor and an earth.

There is no spark at the spark plug, though

I'm thinking it might be the condenser. (the entire ignition system, except for the condenser, was recently replaced by me a few months ago, and she started first time every time).

The issue arose after the car was driven for about 20 minutes, then engine was off for 10 minutes. Car won't start now.

Anyhoo, I was wondering if anyone had the part number for the condenser. I can't see anything on it.

The distributor part number is 0231 306 002 PFUDX6.

Any other pointers appreciated.
