when the car wont start get someone to crank the engine over and give the amp a tap, it should start up, or another trick is to disconnect the ign amp plug and reconnect it, both have proved the amp is faulty for me in the past, ive got a good s/h amp and relays if you need them mate?

its part of the coil, the plug is on the underside of it, iirc its a black plug with 3 or 4 wires going to it, very common to fail, aftermarket ones are crap you need to fit a genuine one

I've had this many times at work, the symptoms normally are cut out, won't start, no spark, sometimes you don't have fuel flow aswell, now I've also had it before where I've pulled a car in for a service, turned the engine off gone to restart it and it won't go, when I worked for a breakdown company before the Vw Audi Indy, we use to carry them in the vans as they are that common a fault

I am confused on where this part is tbh, because your saying it's part of the coil and it has 3 or 4 wires going to it, but sharki786 at the top he's posted a link via eBay, and that add says it normally has 6 to 7 pin connector?,
