Do you have an HT spark from the coil lead, when laid on a metallic part of the engine?

Hall effect sensor in the distributor would seem most likely culprit after checking for the correct voltages at the coil/amp unit. Better off calling in an expert rather than wasting money throwing bits at it. Other possibilities include the immobiliser, ecu, relays etc.
