After an engine stall it would not restart. I left it a while thinking it was flooded but later found there's no spark (also tried strobe light but not a glimmer).
Thinking there may be a glitch in the immobiliser I disconnected / reconnected the battery but that didn't work.
I've cleaned the rotor arm / hall sensor / distributor cap but still no joy. The battery has plenty of power, there's 12v supply to the coil, the earth is okay and the coil gets warm if the ignition is left on for a minute or so. The Haynes manual gives Prim / Sec resistance values but doesn't state which terminals to probe.
We had a problem over a year ago with the immobiliser not recognising the key chip, but resolved this by removing the plastic steering cowling. Even so, the engine would ALWAYS start, albeit for about a second.
Any suggestions?
Is it possible to 'hot wire' it so I can take it in for test / repair if necessary ?
