as the title says im not getting any spark
ive already tried swapping the polarity of the vr sensor and it didnt help.
i also tested it with a timing light to see if everything was working, and after the motor turned over there was a very loud bang and yes the timing light did flash when it happened
any suggestions?
no spark... urgent please

No spark at all indicates an EDIS problem so let's get back to basics:
- take the MJLJ out of the car completely
- take all the plugs out and all but one off the ignition leads
- rest the remaining one on the lead on the block, so that the outside of it is earthed
- turn the engine over - any sparks?
Assume no, so....
- check the wiring at least 3 times
- check earths
- (silly question - you have got one of the teeth missing on the trigger wheel haven't you?)
- measure some voltages during cranking - 12v on EDIS pin 8 and on centre connection of coil
