hia guys hope u can help point me in right direction

car been not started for about a month was left outside at local garage waiting for an mot there is basically no spark
1 battrey is ok turns over fine
2 power at coil
3 removed dizzy cap cleaned a sprayed with wd 40 some evidence or a little arking but started ran perfect when left there
4 the garage said they think it might be a crank sensor they said there are 2 this seems unlikely to me as it was fine when i left it

ur thought avenues of investigation would be helpful

oh it is a late 85 car on a c reg

im guessing its a 325i chrome bumper car then thye have the crank sensor in the gearbox and the one next to it is a speed secor i think it could of gone but also check the flywheel still has the key in place on the in part of the flywheel as these have fallen out before
