hall sender ?
« on: 30 June 2016, 10:33 »
 :sad: 1986 GTI 8v K-jet
so she will not start , i renewed the fuel pump relay 2 days ago & thought i had fixed it :angry:

 got recovered home yesterday , the mechanic said he thought it was the hall sensor in the dizzy
 this morning i followed the green haynes manual , diagnostic on the ignition
it says that there should be 5v on the outer two connections of the plug
yet i have 12v ?anybody know what controls this voltage ?

despondent & getting to the stage after 15 years ownership of giving up :sad: :sad: :sad:

There is an ignition amp on the bulk head under the small left hand black plastic cover. Drivers side, try replacing that first, mine I noticed a while ago now that the Speedo started jumping around whilst I was driving, the next day it wouldn't start, no spark and that was the fault.
