Hi Guys

I am still not getting a spark, I have changed my ref and speed sensors, Coil, dissie cap and rotor arm my DME relay cover has been removed and it is also working, the small nipple is also on the crankshaft and appears to be okay. Any ideas as to where I turn now I am totally lost. I have done all the resistance tests and the values are as they should be.

Hi,
Talk to Charles Marsland he is the PCGB register secretary for 3.2 Carrera on 01732 848323.
He owns one, drives one & works on them therefore knows a lot about them[;)]
Hope you get it sorted

Hi
Thanks for that, I spoke to Charles and he was of great assistance so I will try his suggestions and let you know how I get on, however unfortunately things are starting to point to the ECU Ouch!!!!
 
Hi
Thanks for all you assistance so far, I had my Sparky look at the car today.. After tests he is quite happy (Cant say I am) but it all points to the ECU, he tested all components at the ECU. The ECU is receiving all the signals from the car Sensors earths and there are good live feeds to the coil etc however although the ECU is receiving it is not sending out any signals for the engine to spark.

The ECU is going to ES Alternators in Kirkintilloch at the start of the week to be bench tested, and if possible, and they have the components they will open the unit and fix it. This company get a very good write up and I will let you know how I get on.
Thanks for the offer of the ECU to test but as you see distance may be a problem.
