May seem like alot of Qs but the anserws tell alot , ta .

Do as Tony says and see if you have spark at the plugs .

If no spark at the plugs take the coil lead out of the dissy cap , remove the cap .

This bit can bite if you don`t take precautions ( insulated plyers , plastic tongs , etc ) ................ hold the coil lead end 3/5 mm off the rotor arm middle and crank the engine , if you get a spark the rotor has probably failed , crook coil or wires will give the same .

The module on yours if factory should be under the coil and the are generally less likely to fail than the later dissy mounted ones .

If you need to test this , can tell you how , slightly different to dissy mounted .

Has any work been done to the car in the last month ?

I know you`ve already answered this but are you sure the battery is fully charged , some cars are more effected than others but a half charged battery can have a big effect on how or if an EFI will start .

I know it seems like a minor thing but it`s not .
