Right so still cant get it to start got fuel as i can hear the injectors firing and can smell the fuel from repeated failed starts but defiantly have no spark on any cylinders, checked this via the use of a timing light which is proven to work and by taking the spark plug out and firing it whilst it was on a earthed. have checked the following things:
changed dizzy to one known to work
changed the coil (althought the one in there at the moment is brand new genuine part from gsf)
checked the continuity of all the cables going to the coil so that inlucdes the one from the ignition switch the one from the ecu and the one from the idle switch alll checked out fine
checked the connectors near the coil these are the correct way around as the per the haynes wiring diagram also when swapped over the fuel pump no longer primes
checked the order of the HT leads numerous times
checkd the earthing points for the engine for the battery and for the coil all below 0.3 ohms
checked the secureness of the connections to the hall sender and to the fuse box and the coil
checked the rortor arm is corrrectly aligned with the key way on the dizzy shaft
rotated the dizzy cap 180 degrees (although wasnt sure this would realy do anything !)
checked that all connectors where in the correct place on top of the inlet menifiold.
things that are brand new include dizzy cap, ht leads, spark plugs, coil.
checked the way the chip was inserted to the ecu was the corrrect way round
when i installed the chip in the ecu i was working on a esd safe mat with an esd earthed wrist strap
still no spark !!! any other ideas or tests that i can do to rule things out or solve the problem the wonly thing i havnt tried changing is the ecu which i was overley carefull with when moving around and putting the chip in and it worked fine in my car before.
If i cant fix this by the end of the week i will ship the car to TSR performance to get it running but i would prefere to fix it myself to save time hassle and money if possible.
