Non Starting ABF since engine out, loom replacement

[hardmonkeys]

I took the King lead off the coil and rested on the engine, when ignition turned on, it sparked, but when turning over, it didn't, when i stopped turning over,it sparked twice again, here are some pics of the distributor. Can you let me know where the hall sender is? I have had a Google, but nothing really shows anything, thanks.





I also changed the coolant sensor which was showing -40c on the VAGCom, still showing  -40c



Don't suppose this'll help.

 

Any ideas

Thanks for all the help so far,

That plugg that is on the dizzy. Underneath is Hall effect sensor.

Wiring problems on this loom. Check wiring round Hall sensor. My old 16 was nearly broke through when I found it

[hardmonkeys]

Ok, thanks.

I will check all round that a clean up. Will this stop the spark from the king lead? As when turning over, no spark at all from King lead, until I stop crank when it will spark once or twice...

[lemski]

Im not sure. Could be telling the ecu not let the coil produce a spark.
Im sure it only stops the distributer though.

Youve checked its all in the right plugs on the fuse box.
Immobiliser definately not stepping in.

[hardmonkeys]

Well, I'm hoping the immobiliser isn't stepping in, when scanned with VAGCom it's not producing a code, but I've heard it doesn't always throw a code..the ring is around the ignition barrel, I haven't touched the immobiliser wires when putting the replacement loom in, and I've checked the wires are going where they should...hmmm, I really am at a loss here...

Theres ways to check all the ign side. Ecu Obvously controls the coil power.
All earths on and double checked.

It seams maybe coil is at fault. But unless you have a spare to check cant rule it

[hardmonkeys]

I've replaced the coil...albeit it with a euro car parts one,

I am suspecting the electrical side of the ignition barrel is faulty. btw the hall sender is the black piece that's screwed on to the inside of the distributor. you need to remove the dizzy and knock the roll pin out. then the trigger wheel will come out to give you access to the hall sender. I would change the ignition switch first though

[hardmonkeys]

Ok thanks, quick question though, if the switch was faulty, then surely it wouldn't illuminate dash light, let alone even turn over..remember I've had this engine running, until I fried the loom, (fusebox to engine compartment loom, I haven't fried the one that goes around the engine..if you know what I mean) it also started on Sunday, with throttle..but immediately cut out when I released it...please if I'm am wrong here, put me right, I'm learning and am happy to be out straight..

Thanks

Voltage of coil connector when ignition on is 11.56v or there abouts...are we looking at another coil? A better quality one?
