None sparking 1989 316i

Post Mon Jul 13, 2020 4:03 pm

First time the car has failed in 16 years, engine cranks but no spark

Parked up for 5 days, no previous issues.

New coil fitted

Can't get a spark even directly from the coil.

Gets 12V from Pin 15 to rocker cover with a test light.

CPS and lead look OK

Fuel pump kicks in on ignition, so would that rule out a problem with the CPS?

Cheers for any help anyone can offer

Tried cranking with the CPS unpluged and can't hear the fuel pump so maybe not CPS issue.

Rev counter doesn't move on cranking with or without the CPS.
