[urq] No start - situation

Per my suggestions and suspicions earlier, it certainly appears whatever else you do, you have a coil problem.  As you note, your other tests are 'good enough' and do not warrant further pursuit IMO.  I wouldn't touch the ICU until you replace the coil.  If a coils tests bad, it's not going to get 'better' with the replacement of the ICU.  I am amazed they last as long as they do, perched right above the cooking wastegate.  Also a good time to consider an aftermarket coil replacement, as IME they tend to have better reserve capacity when warm.

Cheers

Hi Steve

my posting below seemed to get on the list ahead of my epic one which I wrote 
first and which contains my test results.

I can confirm that the ECU is receiving battery voltage 12.4v when ignition is 
switched on. The battery is brand new yesterday and fully charged.

Re: The timing sensors - I will admit to being a little confused by Phil Ps 
text- they have the correct resistance according to the initial tests but Phil 
says "if bad, proceed" which suggested to me that if they were in spec, you 
accept as good and move on to test the next component. But at the end of the 
section, it says, "if the sensor passes the test, replace the sensor" I don't 
get it.

Could be that I've read and tried so much I can't see the wood for the trees 
now.

Just going to check the earth straps around the engine bay now and double 
check.#

Thanks again

Keith
