Those guys gave up. Again, did not want to charge me for trying, although I paid them a bit for the effort. The verdict is that there is no signal from the distributor, if I understood it right... it might be sensors after all. I had to have a car so I bought a 2003 celica gt, drove it home today ...

Swapping seats
