thanks for the input mate. I checked the tps, its ok. even swapped one from a running engine and reset it.
I pulled the fuel tank apart and found the brand new fuel pump i fitted a year ago still had the old screen in it. (the ebay replacement fuel pump came with a huge sreen that wouldnt fit. damn-forgot about that!. I wacked another fuel pump in it and its ran sweet! for 10 mins last night then this morning it wouldnt start aftyer fitting some original rear turn signals!

now im getting error 33 on the dash, earlier 12 and 33 were flashing.
33 relates to the coil, 12 is the cps, again, but I managed to clear it.

so now im back to the bike cranking with no spark. (fuel pump is engaging).

I've tried deleting the codes but ones stuck in there!
(when i bring up number 61 in diag mode it shows 0 faults. I then scroll down to 61 and number 1 comes up. (I guess thats code 33 its showing on startup- coil related).

am i doing something wrong? Im sure Im following all the instructions posted here correctly but just having no luck!

Ive checked the ohm readings between the pins of the cps (with the 3 wire stator plug and cps plug unplugged).
i'm getting @2k setting on my digital meter: .247 @20k 0.23 and at 200k 0.17. so im guessing there is no cps fault. sorry im not real flash at using meters! (also no grounding between either pin and the frame).

I'm really wondering whats causing this. all the wiring and plugs all over the loom look fine. one pin on the voltage regulator looked a little burnt but that shouldn't cause the cps issue.

last thing to consider: a bad ECU or immobilizer fail?
