Hmmm just pulled out old coil...it looks new, the cad plating is still shiny along with the little screws and all. Tested to see if was transmitting energy to distributor, there's no pulse. So correct me if im wrong but that now puts the spotlight on the Ignition module eh?

Cheers hako:thumbsup: any opinions on this ebay Ignition module? Holden Commodore Ignition Module V8 5.0 RACING,EXCHANGE | eBay

if u have a in car diagnosis computer plug it in, erase all history codes, then try it againt after erasing them, then the problem shud appear by code, find out wat the code is then go from there, dont buy anything until u kno for sure wat it is, otherwise u might replace parts that are still operating good, keep me updated wit wat the diagnosis says....

Hey hey fellas, She breathes once more!!!:yeah: It was the Ignition module alright, plugged the new one in and she fired first shot. Ignition module cost me $205 and i think its a MOSFET. I have to say Kudos to all that helped, its great to know we're all not doomed to go straight to a holden mechanic when something goes wrong :thumbsup:

Got a similar issue here, engine turns over but refuses to kick, but we *do* get spark....

Is it possible to have a weak spark to the point where it is visible but the engine wont fire? It wont even kick on start-ya-bastard, and it *was* running fine so I refuse to believe all 8 cylinders suddenly did their rings......

Ignition module? Coil?

Thoughts?
