Check to make sure there is power to the coil, check crank sensor.

If this is an Australian EA falcon, the problem will be a faulty coil or a distributor module, this is a very common problem, it is best to replace both items as a set.

I am having the same problem, getting no spark but fuel. Mine started but after awhile it got warm and shut off is that coil? If so wers the best place to buy replacement coil.

Welcome:

It sounds like that is the problem. The best place to get a replacement part is the dealer, where you will get an original equipment component. However, the price will be higher than a parts store. With that, compare the prices. If they are close, get it from the dealer.

Let us know if you have other questions.
