Don't mean to tell you how to suck eggs but you were turning the engine over when checking for a spark at the plug? and you do have good earths?

I had someone tell me they couldn't get a spark when holding the plug on the engine, fooker wasn't turning the engine over

I don't think it amplifies the voltage, i think it amplifies the amps.

Might be wrong though.

Btw isnt the thing u wanna know about called a hall sensor? it detects the speed rotation, position and angle
