hello got an efi had many of sleepless nights trying to sort it out, just a quick question have you got your gearbox cover on? if not your flywheel might be too dirt for the crank sensor to get a good reading, or if it is on take it off and have a look at the flywheel and maybe use some iron wool to clean it a little might help Kind regards Mike.

Assuming you still don't have any sparks?

The crank sensor must have a resistance to create a voltage.......... the voltage Is only small and is an AC signal.

When you switch the ignition on the fuel pump should run for a second then switch off. Then it should start again when cranking. Does yours do this?

If it does then the crank sensor is fine. If it doesn't start pumping again when cranking then it is not sensing the crank signal. If this is the case then pull the sensor out and clean up the mount with emery paper or similar. The sensor has an inductive pick up and if some corrosion is holding away from the flywheel then the voltage produced could be too low. By cleaning off any corrosion you will get the sensor closer to the fly wheel and increase the voltage.
