OK; hopefully my english will be translatable to your language.

Most common failures would be the TFI module and the timing belt, but I
presume the timing belt was changed at the overhaul

During cranking there should be a steady power on one side of the coil and a
blinking power on the other side (Indicating that the coil is being triggered
to make sparks.)

Bad checks mean bad, but good does not indicate good. :-(

Gasoline or petrol wold be the more correct translation (For US/UK) rather
than benzene but I get the meaning.

Usually the TFI module itself from what you describe; sometimes the
distributor coil fails but then you should not be getting fuel at the
injectors if this was the case.

> can i check the EEC ?

For service codes yes; but the unit itself only by swapping with a 'known
good' unit.

I'd use a test light to see if there is a rapid blinking on the "Tach" side of
the ignition coil during cranking. If so then I'd suspect bad ignition coil
or secondary cable(s); if not then I'd look at replacing the TFI module first
assuming the distributor turns whilst cranking.

Expensive regardless of where you go! I couldn't afford to pay myself to
repair my vehicles at the shop.
