as above my m8s just put his car back together after head/g gearbox belts etc and he had it fired up and running for about half hour now it wont spark??

we've had another coil pack and flywheel sensor on it but no luck what else can be checked?

Use contact cleaning spray on all the electrical connectors, could be just dirty connection when you put it back together.
