Montego non-starter

Catullus 19 April 2006 10:29:24
 Hacked off somewhat - petrol Montego estate won't start, turns over but
doesn't "spark". Have eliminated damp, changed the distributor cap, checked
the battery, made sure there's fuel........what else could it be?
Yours in desperation (I need it for the weekend), with thanks

it could be the ignition coil or the ignition module if you've got no
spark, is the coil lead pushed fully home into the coil or the cap.

from "Catullus" <zen27696@zen.co.uk­> contains these words:

You've actually checked that there is no spark at the plugs?

Last time I had one of them die it was the HT leads leaking all along
their length - you could see the blue glow as dusk fell.

If there really is no spark, check that there's a spark coming out of
the coil by taking the king-lead and putting the plug up that.

If /that/ doesn't work then it's probably lost the signal from the
crankshaft sensor.

I assume you have checked that the cam belt is still there and turning?

Most common is rotor arm failure, they track down to the camshaft, just put
a new one on anyway.
