When it worked, the old dissy was the right dissy. Is there anything on it which absolutely defines it as 'different' from any of those others you have tried ? I know you are looking elsewhere now, but my 'gut' feeling is still the distributor. The almost unthinkable is the ECU and if worst came to ...

I would believe the reading of 14 ohms rather than the Haynes figure.
Almost certain it is the old IAC that killed your transistor.

Best check that has a meaningful resistance and the solenoid is working properly , or else it will happen again.

DO NOT put a new battery on and turn the key !
Plugs out, thin oil in, O/S front wheel off the ground ,in gear, turn the wheel for half an hour by hand, try to get the engine to turn clockwise.
Put it all back together, check oil/water /fuel level, new battery, turn the key.

As you said at the start Bob, you do have the last (third ? ) iteration of Probe distributors.
This is where they really scrambled the alphabet on the connections.
If it cranks, has fuel, times ok, sparks, it has to run !

Now it sounds like the 'handshake' between Temic and ECU isn't working like it should.
Someone may know the procedure for resetting the Temic/ECU link.

If the Temic wasn't working I don't think the starter would engage, the fuel pump run or the ignition cause a 'spark'.
Just as a test, untape and try it without the Temic key in the car.

If the timing is ok, fuel is being injected and it has a spark on all plugs it has to run !
Just double check there are no 'pipes' left disconnected anywhere, behind the MAF box, etc, even the smallest of pipes left off can make it
a 'non-starter'.

I doubt very much that the broken key caused any 'short circuit'.
If you have a spark then the issue is either timing, or lack of fuel, or both !
Nothing else.
So concentrate on those two items, then come back to us.

For sure the Bosch immobiliser played it's part in many a dizzy failure because of the size of the miniature relay contacts. However, I always envied those with the Temic system as I perceived it to be totally reliable. Now, I don't know. Remember ,I did have a dizzy failure that wasn't. One of thre...
