No Spark

[brecon]

1984 UR Quattro Running great , next day ignition lights on turn key engine turns over will not fire up . Check for spark nothing , so out with the multi meter coil Ok good readings . Next up check timing marks , can't find flywheel ' O ' only a -- ( see pic ) do some UR's have a dash line instead of the O ? if not will carry on searching . any help would be appreciated .

Any maverick spark on plug 1 ? Out of curious interest, was the car hot before it was last switched off?

Assuming you've checked the primary and secondary windings when you say coil ok ?

Have you checked for 12v at + terminal ?

Have you checked coil neg for switching ?

Apart from checking the above my experience on UR ignition systems goes no further!

Timing sensor or timing pin

Thanks guy's for the replies .
1. Yes coil checked and OK
2. yes temp was normal when switch off after a 25 mile run before a M.O.T the next day
( had to cancel re none start )
3. Will carry on looking for the fly wheel mark then on to the fly wheel pin etc.
Thanks again
Brecon P.S No maverick spark .

no maverick spark often indicates the ecu is not seeing the engine turning
