To cut a long story short my car cut out and won't start again. It'll turn over, has fuel but has no spark. The plugs, lead, dizzy cap and rotor arm are all brand new so it cant be that. My EML is giving me the usual code of crank sensor but also Air Flow Sensor Low Voltage, CO Potentiometer High Voltage and Hall Effect Sensor Low voltage. Im guessing thats all linked and will be down to one problem. Ive changed the dizzy and its still doing it!
Also would these problems cause the car to cut out and not start? The few days before it gave up completely it cut out on me a couple of times and then wont fire on the first few turns of the key but then it gave up and wouldnt fire at all.
Any help is greatly appreciated as i need my car to get to work so need it sorting ASAP.
Ive tried help zone but with no luck and due to circumstances i need a rough answer as to what it could be today.

Why would it be the ECU? Surely there would be a wide array of faults or an ECU fault but as theres only 3 it might be something linked to them i just cant think what it could be.

So its looking more and more like a wiring problem and possible ECU?  I'll check all the wiring when i get chance.
