hi all, still getting no spark on my 325, hoping somebody can give me a complete list of things to check, so i can go through them one by one, checked the obvious one like battery ecu coil rotor arm and dizzy cap all either new or checked. and which way round the crank sensor conector and the HT conector go, being told that this is a common problem, but im not sure which one go where.
Also bought a second hand petrol tank, but its got a extra line, looks like a breather, can this tank be adapted to fit my 325, as mine is looking a little worse for wear, but one has two lines.
many thanks.

Hi mate

Have a look at my posts in this link:

Hope that helps. From the research I've done, I would take a guess that it is the flywheel reference tabs or the ECU.

Can you give exact details of your car?
Where are you?

I have a spare ECU if your car is the same age.

I'm located in cheshire, the car is G reg 325.
sounds like a tricky job. did you change the wiring loom on yours if so was it expensive?. dont think its the ecu as i have had that tessed.
