Default Focus MK1 1.8 Non Start?
Basically car drove fine came to it next morning and just wouldn't start, tried plugs they're still sparking but were dry should they not be wet after trying to start for a while?

Battery was fine, it's turning over okay and there is fuel in the tank.

Anyway tried the fuel pump fuse and relay seems fine gave the tank a good bang and i'm abit of a dead end now not sure what to try..

Any suggestions?

Pumps are not uncommon on the focus. You might find if you try it again later it will start. Lift the rear seats and turn ignition on. If you can't hear it buzz for a second chances are it's dead.
