2,8 does not start. Electric problems..
There's something strange with my engine. It just wont start.I think the problem is that the ignition coil does not get enough power. When the ignition is turned off I measured it to ~13v (same as battery) but once i turn on the ignition it drops to about 0,6v.This drop in power happens in the wires leading to the ignition coil so I think the problem is located somewhere between the battery and the coil.Any suggestions about where I shoud start searching? Or any other ideas?If you don't understand what I'm saying just ask, english is not my first language

Will do that tonight yes.Are there any relays (is this the correct word?) that might mess things up and cause a problem?
