    I bought an aftermarket bosch coil pack, When hooked up to the 12v/earth , With it plugged into a lead with a spark plug in it to see if i get any spark (Still nothing)

    Does your key button work?Factory immobiliser could be stuck on...After letting mine sit for 6 months,put a fresh battery in,and it wouldnt start,not even cough...after a coupla hours swearing at it,I had a ! moment,and grabbed the spare key...fired up straight away...

    Don't understand what you mean here. Does the starter motor turn the engine over OK but the engine still won't start, or does the engine only turn over a couple of times and stop (and not start).

    I have had the same problem for a while, changed coil,ignition module,hall sensor to no avail.
    thought it could be anti theft so on and so on. ended borrowing a friends spare ignition module
    and it worked, the one i had bought and replaced was a reco from repco which i found out
    didnt work. the transistor on top of the module will fail and most likely the cause for the ignition
    module to fail. i have replaced the transistor on top of my module with a 2N3055 NPN transistor which
    will cost you a round $2.50 and a insulator kit for $4.00 and some thermal paste for $3-6 and now works fine.
