90 MK2 Golf Digifant won't start

[gazareth]

have you checked a plug to see if its sparking?

[JtheB]

Yes the fuel pump is priming and when the engine is turning over there is a smell of fuel and there is no spark...

Hhhhmmmmmmm, coil?

[JtheB]

I have checked the windings of the coil and that all seems ok...

[sparkplug]

do you have the feed to the dizzy ?

[JtheB]

How do I check the distributor and where is the feed? Thank you!!!

[sparkplug]

the Haynes manual (green cover version) has all the how to test in it
mine is a Kjet so it may be different !

as far as i can remember, with the ignition switched on , you should get 5volts
at the small plug on the side of the dizzy....but please check the manual first

[JtheB]

Ok. Thank you very much. I will look into it and get back to you 😊

Hi. I've changed the engine module and that's not worked. I've also checked the two outer pins and they have 12 volts 😐...I'm at my wits ends 😯

Running out of ideas too. I bought a transparent dizzy cap ages ago for when I was having starting issues, that way I could see that when the engine was turning, so was the rotor arm, and more to the point, that there was a spark at the rotor arm, hence me buying some new leads as I didn't have a spark at the plugs.
