right, checked and done the following things...
1) checked all fuses - OK
2) checked all connections - OK
3) Fuel getting to injector rail and fuel pump priming OK
4) Removed ISCV and cleaned inside and refitted
5) Checked coil against previous one that I knew worked - OK
6) sprayed WD40 inside all HT leads and re-fitted
7) Removed spark plugs, cleaned and returned
removed dizzy & cleaned rotor & connectors
still nothing.... any more ideas?? how do you know 100% I'm getting a spark? could the alarm system be malfunctioning?
Pull the plugs out and get somebody to turn the ignition, soon know if your getting a spark just be careful not to electricute yourself Sounds strange maybe its the immobiliser. Was the timing done when the engine was out?

you want me to pop round darren mate have a check over it with you? just drop me a txt or something
right, found out what it is.. no spark... bought some new plugs, pulled a ht lead out and put it on one of the new plugs and turned the starter... no spark... now, what can cause that?? dizzy & rotor? is there something in the alarm system that stops it sparking??
You did earth the plug out while doing this?Originally Posted by talkingfish
If so, check from the coil direct, this will eliminate the dizzy.
Mat.
Earth the thread of the plug when you're cranking the engine over & see if it's still not sparking? You need to check that Dizzy cap closely
BTW did you fit a new gasket with the new inlet manifold?
Steve - have got a new dizzy, rotor and TDC sensor - I get them tomorrow... will do the earth test tonight... yes, fitted a new gasket when I put the inlet manifold back on...
right, earthed the spark plug and I AM getting a spark...!! the rev counter is moving when I turn the starter so it's not the TDC... I've checked all the earth points too...
any more ideas? alarm system / immobliser? something in the ecu?
Oops sorry for forgetting to mention that you need to earth the plug :/ Prob caused you a whole load of greif that you didn't need.
