Engine has been overhauled, when ignition is switched on dash lights are on, even radio is playing, but when key is turned so as to have it started, there's no sparks to get the engine in motion. Even thought that the problem is electronic in nature and had it checked by auto electrician, but was told that it's not an electronic problem.

Hello,

This vehicle is not in either of our reference guides and I suspect that it might be for a foreign market. Having said that I think that this could be a problem with your vehicle's Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP). Your vehicle's CKP sensor should be on the front of the engine next to the crankshaft pulley or harmonic balancer. It will usually have a two wire connector connected to it. I have included a few links down below for you to go to:

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
