Thanks for replying, i havent been able to find crankshaft sensor yet but I'll give it another try, ive no previous mechanic experience so im just feeling my way and learning as i go, so sorry if i seem a bit dum but with this car being so old could the eye of the distributor known as the ignition pulse sensor be the same as a crankshaft sensor? Or am i just getting confused? Thanks for the idea about the K line I'll have to read up on it first as ive not heard of it before. Thanks
