G'day.

Recently I was f**k around, and for some reason my car won't start now. It cranks, checked to see if it sparks, and it doesn't. So, correct me if I am wrong or if I have missed any potential problems:

1. Starter relay. Pretty sure this isn't it. Swapped the horn and the starter relay, and still no luck.
2. Ignition coil.
3. TFI module.

Any other thoughts? Was f**k around with the ignition switch when trying to fix the remote start module I built.

Any thoughts? Would be very appreciative, seeing as my car is out of action, and I have to get to work.

Cheers!
Braiden.

Since work was carried out around the ign switch, this is what I'd go for - particularly if you have no interior lights.

Not the courtesy lamp fuse, interior lights work fine.

I'm guessing it's the TFI module most likely. Smartlock light isn't blinking because I bypassed it for remote start and unplugged the LED because it likes to get an error code and stay on.

TFI module? Anyone agree?
