I thought I would hand out some credit where credit is due, in this day and age.
I recently had some issues with the Satellite. Running great one day, dead in the water the next. Trying to start, backfiring and generally sounding unhappy if it did grunt to life for a few seconds.
Did some initial troubleshooting with help from FBBO members, of course. But still, no dice.
Was going through mechanicals and electrical, and came to the possible conclusion that my Progression Ignition may have taken a dirt nap.
From what I have read online, this would be a rare occurrence.
So I contacted Ted Reiger @ Progression and explained my situation, asking if there was a possibility of sending it to their office in Florida for repair.
I purchased the distributor 1.5yrs ago so the 1yr warranty was definitely up.
Ted emailed me back and gave me a few things to check, and told me that I was welcome to send him the distributor, and he would diagnose it & perform any necessary repairs, at no charge!
One of the things that he mentioned to check was for a burnt smoky ring on the rotor, and make sure that the carbon button in the centre of the cap wasn't pitted.
Well, I went to check, and it wasn't pitted, it was basically GONE. It was flat, and had a good size crater in it.
I emailed Ted back and sent him some pics. He said that was definitely the problem, and also said he was sending me a brand new cap & rotor.
And he did, UPS, overnight from Florida! I just got it like 30 minutes ago, put it on the car, and she flashed right up!
Very happy right now and can't say enough about Ted and his company, Progression Ignition.
Not many places that go the extra mile like that anymore when he had zero obligations to do so. He must just enjoy happy customers.
If your build isn't by the numbers and are looking at aftermarket ignition, I highly recommend giving Progression Ignition a look!
