Hi Guys,
First post and I am asking for help!
Been trawling this site for a while, and the tech reference section has been a great for helping me keep my mk3 on the road!
I just wonder if someone can give some objective advice on an issue with the golf.
It stopped running the other day and refused to start. No spark from the coil lead, checked the coil and ignition module (with a new unit) and that was fine. As its an ADZ engine it dosnt have the 30 relay, or a crank angle sensor so those are ruled out.
Which leads me to think that the failure is the hall sensor in the distributor?
Before I blow some cash on a new distributor can anyone advise that a hall sensor failure would prevent the coil from firing. I connected the coil up to a multimeter and it was showing 12v with the ignition on, but on cranking I couldnt see any pulse signal - would that confirm its the hall sensor?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
James
