anything else i should be checking for. Im starting to think this car hates me ive had her for 15 months spent a fortune on her and i think ive only had about 2/3 weeks worth of enjoyment out of her since october. seems like every time i take her out something else goes wrong with . I am seriosly contemplating selling her when shes fixed as im getting fed up and paranoid with the car. Ive nicknamed her christine now:rollin
Thanks

basically, as long as youve tested it right, then youre not getting any spark to start the car. Now im just trying to see if youre getting reference from the crank angle sensors.
Does your rev needle sort of flicker as youre turning her over? (its only a minute flicker...but a flicker nonetheless)..

pull the connector off the ignitor and check for 12v at the connector while cranking.
