Hi Steve,

I know the flywheel sensor is always there, but there are other errors 
also which can happen, like "intermittend" concerning the flywheel 
sensor. It's worth a look, also exchanging flywheel sensor and ignition 
point sensor, as they are identical but have different functions. But 
that's a horrible task ;)

It could also be the Hall sensor... you never know. But if the fuel pump 
works and there is still no fuel coming, it's usually 'cause the ECU 
says "no no" :)

regards

Bastian
