If it's got an engine management system that does fuel and sparks, it'll have a speed/reference sensor somewhere.

Whyeeeeeee? :)

trying to get to the bottom of why my cars not starting :cry:

If the engine has a sensor, i guess it will need to get a reading from that sensor to determine the fuel input and spark.... No reading no spark or fuel at start up 8O

Was just at work going through scenerios in my head... maybe the sensore is broken or the wires come unpluged :eek:
