Vti-R turning off whilst driving, anyone have the ECU error codes?

[Super-DA9]

well it sounds like you've checked everything in the ignition system and it all either checks out ok or has been replaced..

so you have apparently covered the common causes. time to move on to things outside the ignition.

could the fuel pump have failed/is failing? not sure if anything in the fuel system has been suggested yet..

Someone has suggested crank angle sensor and cam angle sensor....do these sound like viable causes? Fuel pump prob doesn't sound like it could be preventing spark at the dizzy?

no but it would stop it from starting or cause it to shut off while driving..

so you're 100% it's getting no spark? or no power to the distributor? forgive me if I missed it but how did you check?

crank angle and cam angle sensors would cause problems if they went bad but I can't see how they would prevent spark either..

Nrma tested the spark for me when it first happened. Also Used a spark plug tester and did everything on the video someone posted a couple of pages back.

Engine immobiliser? Blown fuse?
Advanced your timing too much and fouled your plugs ?

....Disconnect positive on battery and see if it sparks you?

actually, as simple as they are these are quite likely. I know that a failed immobiliser can cause this problem because it happened to my VTi-R ages back when I first got it.

All the fuses are fine, immobiliser wouldn't let the engine crank over (which it does), no spark BEFORE the plugs wtf its doing my head in!!!! Didn't think it would be this hard to solve!

Well chicks have no clue so we need 5 pages of help!

[Super-DA9]

well I think just about everything has been covered now. you might need to do some further testing to get more info before we can give anymore suggestions.

got any friends that can give you some hands on help with the car?

also for the record when my car had the immobiliser issue it was cranking over but not starting, not sure if yours worked the same though..

probably worth looking into if you dont have any other ideas..
