Hi, yes, the mechanic has checked earthing

Is there anyway the output from ECU can be probed to see if the right signals are sent to the ignition module before replacing it?

Parts such as ignition module, distributor and associated modules would have to be ordered from UK, I am used to doing that over the years :-)

There are also parts like crank and cam sensors that can prevent sparks, is there any way to test them individually?
