It's the ignition coil I meant and no mate it's not the same as the picture above

What is a cps? Crank pulley sensor? I did check all the leads I could see were connected in properly when I fitted the new coil, can't see any that aren't plugged in as they should be


Regards the ecu there is an issue I could kick myself for not having considered before, for a while I've been getting some water in the passenger footwell

Originally thought it was getting in through the door/door opening seal but in the past few days I've tracked it down to be getting in via a small hole in the battery compartment and coming through under the glove box

The ecu is fitted just forward of the door post close to the floor on the passenger side so I'm thinking maybe some water/condensation's gotten in there, possibly some corrosion, either of these could be causing it to play up couldn't it?

I do have a spare ecu for it and the red master key so I'm thinking it's worth at least trying a swap seeing as I have it, wouldn't happen to know if I need anything other than the ecu itself and the master key to get it working would ya?

Mechanic at our local garage said something about a magnetic ring somewhere around the ignition barrel on the steering column that he isn't 100% sure doesn't also have to be changed, said he's gonna check on that with an auto-electrician type mate of his over the weekend
