I degreased the motor yesterday and replaced all the heater hoses.
I was filling the radiator and started the motor. It ran for about 1 minute and then cut out. It will not start at all now. I have spark at one of the plugs and their is fuel in the fuel rail. Injectors seems to be clicking but no fire at all. Ive tried to find the diagnostic connector ( aldl )in the left front kick panel but it is not there. Can anyone shed any light on what the problem and help me find the diagnostic connector ?

I ended up changing the ignition module and then the coil. Turned out to be the coil. Apparently the position of the coil ( under and behind the distributer between the motor and the firewall and mounted to the back of the motor )cau

VS:
Module on front guard behind airbox.
Coil on rear of engine behind manifold (slightly to the left).
Dizzy has a hall effect sensor in it that can go bung.
I've just done all these on my VS2 Calais......
Absolute mongrel of a job!

Yep,t'was the coil as with the OPs car.What a **** of a job getting the coil back on let alone getting it out of that tiny little space.My solution was to get a longer coil lead and extended the wiring from the loom,and fitted the new coil to the passenge
