abf 16v with twin 45s cant get spark

right hope someone can help I have put a mk3 golf abf engine in my mk1 golf cab. engine everything in but for the love of god can not get any spark on plugs. the car is up my local garage now he told me to get hold of wiring loom and ecu from mk2 golf 16v so that's been fitted and guess what still no spark cf_emoticons__BangHead: summer is coming and car needs to be driven hope someone could help

IIRC to use Mk2 stuff you need the coil, TCI, dizzy and loom from the Mk2..

 You sure its not something annoying like a bad earth somewhere?  Got voltage at the coil? at the cap?  

Work back through the system and oyu'll find it ; )

ye I got everything off mk2 golf coil, TCI and loom only thing I haven't changed is the dizzy I thought the 1 that was on there from mk3 would be ok. we both been scratching our heads today everything seems ok got power where it should be going dizzy turning but plugs still no spark. there is something small we are missing but he having sleep less nights now my is car taking up space

I seem to remember something about the abf dizzy not being suitable for the mk2 golf stuff but its hazy , not 100% sure

Does the ABF dizzy have a plug for the hall sender on the Mk2 loom to plug into?

 ABF dizzy may be single window type as it has an ECU where the KR dizzy is 4 window type..

Stick a KR dizzy on there and it'll be easier to diagnose with matched components

I just double checked and I'm right - ABF is crank trigger type and so the ABF dizzy wont work with the KR loom which is magnetic pickup type.

 problem solved   

Thanks for reply will try dizzy from mk2 then cross fingers

Yeah dizzy is needed due to hall sender and also gives you advance/retard ignition as abf is self adjusting. 

Same apply fr  9a?

Yeah

Ah. thanks. whos got a mk2 dizzy they wana sell??!

The 9a one can't be unbolted and turn can it, put a pic up if you can I'm not too sure how.
