vs commodore
You said you had no spark, did you remove a plug lead and got a old plug and leant it on the engine and cranked it to see if the plug is sparking? Have you tested power to the injectors when key is on? Have you tried start ya bastard in the throttle body while turning over to see if it will fire?
