Sorry but it will.... maybe if still using rotor and cap you are right BUT on my LT car which is now running dizzyless I had a faulty phase sensor and car started, by pure LUCK... i.e sometimes it wouldnt and would backfire or the engine would advance (like it was under hydraulic pressure) .. New phase sensor, starts first time all the time

strange I know but true
Yes the phase sensor can be tested, though not exactly sure how (multimeter etc)
