    Hello

    I wonder if anyone can help me please.

    I have a 1983 Ferrari 308QV GTS

    I am getting no spark trigger from both ECU's to the coils and hence no spark.

    Both ECU's are getting power from the ignition switch, so are both coils.

    I have swapped around all 3 flywheel sensors to see if the engine speed sensor is faulty.
    Makes no difference.

    I've had the car 12 trouble free years. The engine has always ran fine, until I disconnected the ECU's to check the vacuum advance pipe was clear. Upon reconnecting the ECU's, engine won't start.

    All the ECU connectors look in good shape

    I did blow down the pipe that goes to the ECU's to check it was clear. Im wondering if that has damaged the ECU's??

    Any advice please would be much appreciated.

    Thnx

    Check and make sure you did'nt bend over any of the connector pins when you pluged the ECU's back.

    check the relays, clean all connector pins, verify all crank sensors are hooked to the right bank and ecu.
    Must be something simple as it ran fine before.
