No spark

[urq]

... I'm a firm believer that when you see a failure after having something
that might cause that failure "fixed" ... that's the first place you look.

If the timing belt was recently replaced I'd recommend verifying the
crank/cam/distributor timing is correct ... if the belt slips it can cause a
no spark condition.  

Unfortunately reading codes may not be too informative ... you'll likely get
a reference or speed sensor code, and it may well be spurious.  

Good luck!

Would a bad hall sensor do that?

Hi,

My 91 200 TQ 20V with about 140K has no spark. My kid was driving it and
he said it just stalled and wouldn't restart. He had it towed back. It
started once, went to 1500 rpm and died.

I changed the cap and rotor with new Bosch parts, and replaced the plugs
with Autolite double platinum. (What I had been using.) 

Still no start, so I checked and found no spark from the coil wire. The
coil checked out to Bentley spec. There was also 12V to the coil.

What would be some other likely suspects?

John

I just had the timing belt changed within 1000 miles.
