Let's hope that the problem is fixed by now.
I would also like to add some information for installation of the bracket to the speed and reference sensors;

I did not gap the speed sensor. The upper hole in the bracket for the upper bolt gives you some wiggle room. I used one hand to hold the speed sensor as far away from the crank as possible, then I tightened the bolts with my other hand. I knew that the consequence would be that the car wouldn't start, but I figured I try. It's only about 2 mm anyway.

Now, I'm a very happy man - thanks to you pelican guys! Saved me a lot of money too!
The gap spec is .8mm anything larger than this reduces the signal from the sensors and may cause drive-ability issues at lower RPMs. Find a washer that's just under 1mm thick and epoxy it to the end of the old sensor then set the gap correctly. If your at 2mm gap that's a bit wide and may cause issues.
