Thanks ofr reply..
yeah forgot to mention swapped the coil for an old one thats was still working and the leads have also been changed = but admit im running a cheap euro car parts coil.

Had this no spark issue a short while back...https://passionford.com/forum/ford-e...ont-start.html

although on this occasion removing the plug from No1 and doing a spark test somehow made the enigne start and didnt have a problem for about 5 weeks until now...and the same remove spark plug test hasnt worked

oh yeah and have noted my lousy spelling!
