    Angry VL no spark

    Hi guys,
    My trusty VL went to start this morning no go, no spark
    Dist turns Ok
    no pulses to primary of coil.
    I cant find my wiring diag/schematic amongst my stuff.
    A friend has the ws manual but its an hour each way to pick it up.
    So I guess need to see if pulses are present out of dist back to EFI (connector pinouts) please as a starting point. From memory I think there are 1 degree o/p pulses as well as other angular data.
    If any one could send me the wiring schematic I would appreciate it.

    cheers http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/...cons/icon8.gif

    Few Things. Try Another Coil.
    And plugs on Dizzy and Coil. i have marked in red in attachment.
    I had same problem a few years back and all i did was unplug these 3 marked and sprayed RP7 in them as one was corroded and it kicked straight away.
    Good luck man

    well i have just inherited this problem with no spark. i have replaced the dizzy cap, rotor, ignition coil, the sensor beside the dizzy, is there a way to check the crank angle sensor with a multi meter to know if it is working? or any other idea that may be a factor?

    If you have no LEDS lighting up then yes it could be the ECU is stuffed but I'd check wiring and plugs 1st~do you have rust around the base of the windscreen if so water may have been leaking on it...
    I was confused now I'm just not so sure!!

    Disconnect the battery and remove the plugs from the ECU are they all CLEAN?
