Does anyone know if theres a way to test the BOSCH ecu, Ive tested everything on my RST and theres no spark, everything seems to be as it should, the only thing thats left is the ECU, any ideas?

how can you test things if theres no spark, that surely means that something is not working

I dont think the bosch jetronic ecu has anything to do with the spark, it controls the fuel !

I bet its your distributor mate, it usually is

No, not the jetronic ecu, the ignition ecu,and yes the fuel ecu does have somthing to do with ur ignition as they are both linked, the engine came out of a running erst, ive just bought an ECU from gaybay, ill see if that makes a diference, if not then ill borrow a dizzy from a mate and go from there, ANY SPARE DIZZYS GOING CHEAP?

I had this exact same problem!!!! i ended up leaving it to an auto spark and they said the fault was in the mutipin plug that goes in the side of the ECU. You should check all the pins are actually connected to the wires in the loom as this was the problem in mine.
