Hello,
On my way to work the car just died.
After returning home I checked the engine and found no spark so I replaced
the ignition impulse module as everything I have read said this was the most
likely cause, but the thing still will not start.
Before I go out buying ignition coils and whatever else is there something
obvious I should be looking for.
Any ideas would be most helpful

146,000 miles on the clock

TIA

Simon

No sprak at the plugs? Do you get a spark from the main coil > cap lead?
If not, put a voltmeter across the two low voltage coil terminals and
crank. Do you get a voltage? If it's an analogue meter, does the needle
bounce as you crank?
