I need as much feedback on this on as possible and thank you all in advance!
Read the archives... need more!


The Project:

is an '88 5KTQ I pulled the top end off and dropped the bowels out of the 
bottom end.


The Background on what I did to the engine itself:

I honed the cylinders installed new rings, installed new main and connecting 
rod bearings with the engine still in the bay (poor mans engine stand)
I had the head professionally machined: surface, porting, new valves and 
guides, radial valve job on the exhaust, new lifters, new 272 blausport cam. 
Installed a 3piece exhaust manifold that spits into a k24 turbo. I replaced 
the cap rotor and wiring with new OEM and the plugs with bosch Platin W4DP0 
plugs (hence the poor mans engine stand). running a 2Bennett ECU with a 1.8 
bar w/g spring (which i ran in the car for a couple of months prior to 
dismantling the engine - WOW!)
Problem -  NO SPARK!

What I've done so far:


so, i went thru the Bentley and tested the hall sender, coil, plug wires, 
position reference sensor and all related wiring all came out ok... checked 
for pin on flywheel - present! checked and rechecked TDC. To be obsessive, I 
ran my distributor and ECU in my '86 5KTQ and they checked out fine and even 
further put the ones from the 86 into 88 and tried it and - NOTHING. I 
grabbed the coil from the '86 and installed it.. nothing. Put the '88's in 
the '86... checked out fine.

Did a code retrieval per the bently and the light flashes 2113 which means 
ecu not recieving signal from hall sender. Well why the heck not. Hmmm. I 
would really appreciate any BTDT... Jim Green... Huw Powell.... somebody? 
What might I be missing.

well if you have any further questions I am happy to answer them. and again, 
I appreciate any and all responses from you all. Thanks in advance!!!!!!
