A mate has a totally standard 2WD Saff. Hasn't had it long, but it started missing in higher revs. So he parked it up, a week later and car doesnt want to start.

It turns over, gets fuel, just no spark.
So far swapped:
-Rotor Arm
-Dizzy
-Coil
-CPS sensor
-Phase sensor
-Plugs
-Leads
-ECU

And still no spark. Tried bridging the wiring for the coil to give it direct feed from battery and still no luck.

Any one got ANY suggestions, he's getting REALLY pissed off now understandably. Or is there anything we may have missed to try and test?

Had a few mates who have a good idea about Cossies have a look at it an no luck.

Only thing left to try is removing the alarm has its been suggested the immobiliser is kicking in, but when it actually activated the car doesnt even turn over?

Anything else?

Cheers

 

earth lead?

 

the std ford alarm cuts spark only....

i bet its still in place...

have you tried locking\unlocking with key?

 

crank sensor?

 

Check the crank pulley.

 

Check it for being bent/loose/borken I assume?

Cheers for the suggestions fellas

 

I knew someone who had this problem and parked the car up for 10 years because of it. Turned out after doing all the usual chacks etc., the yellow relay under the dash was fooked. He had already changed it for a spare, but that was fooked too. It was a 4x4 though so dont know if its the same setup on 2wd. HTH.
