No mate had four new amplifiers, was running wasted spark, but i started to get an issue with that not sparking, so i reverted back to coil and dizzy, every sensor is new, every wire i have belled out resistance checks, only thing left is the ecu i think.

There was an issue with the phase sensor wiring, he gave me a scope of work to look at and that included the phase sensor wiring. A good bloke spent hours on the phone.
