have you checked you have ignition live to the coil? maybe the fuse has blown

apart from that check your TCI unit wiring, make sure the earth is ok (saw a pre-insulated crimp joint on your earth ring oh how I hate those) make sure the black wire is to the + side next to the live from fusebox and the green wire is to the -ve

I've checked all the fuses and  they fine, so in the morning I'm going to take all the same gear off my other caddy which runs well and try that,then atleast I will know if it's the dist etc and get it all checked correctly at Lucas.
