Before I get to the point of chopping the cat off and weighing this old thing in I'd like to see it run first.

I bought it knowing the fuel pump didn't work.

1990, 2.0, injection cat, dizzy cap model, bosch seems to be the name in the engine bay

Todays investigation found that the fuel pump does work but the relay does not, now it may be that the relay is OK and something further up the line is not activating the fp relay?

With that sorted I then found there is no spark, not even a faint attempt of a spark.
Ignition coil tested both sides with a few ohms primary and about 7kohms from my vague memory the other side, but swapped it for the one on the 480 just to be sure and still no spark.

rotor turns, contacts cleaned.

Is there a cps on these?
is the bosch black thing behind nsr an amplifier?

Any ideas?

right now I don't want to throw a whole load of parts at it, the idea is to see if it runs ok first before making an assesment on what to do with the car next.

25a fuse in engine bay looks ok, all the fuses in pass footwell look ok also.

there is a relay behind centre console that clicks away like a good'un, and some strange noises from behind dash which may or may not be linked at all.

help please
