np, i ' ll take the used one for $75, once i get a chance to test with the
loaner MPS, we will see if this thing works.

BTW, i went back and set up again per Rons instructions, i found 10 degrees
on the timing wheel set to timing mark static timed exactly
how Ron does it, i did slightly differently, cap off, ignition on and with
my tester looking for on / off blink, essentially what Rons' instructions
say less the
test light. This brought me back to exactly the same position i had before,
so i m thinking its the MPS, why would that suddenly go out but i have
learnt to never assume
with this car as it has never been 1 problem, but many layered over one
another. Now when i had everything apart for cleaning i did not plug up the
whole to the hose leading to MPS as i did not know it was so sensitive....
experience lesson learned! My dad always told me don't clean too much, once
it works leave it alone was his motto

i messaged you on your site so you have my details,

thanks all for your help to date, fascinating this one has been a real
knowledge bender so far!
