Hi bartran, you could measure the resistance of the crank shaft sensor, should be 1k ohm

Is it fuel or spark.

Does it have fuel to the injectors?

Does it have a spark when cranking?

Basics first.

I bought exactly the same car as you about 4 months ago . Cost me a packet so far but still love it. Suggest you check around the rear jacking points for rust. I have just had to have mine welded up.
