Thought the phase sensor only created a pulse for the injectors and the crank sensor for the spark.

Anyway....

My mates cossie had a similar problem, I spent hours on it, New coil, crank sensor, phase sensor, leads, Ecu. In the end he just bought another loom. His was bodged up proper. I dont know if the loom cured his problem, I just lost interest in the end, My mate wouldnt lisen to my thoughts and wanted me to test everything
