Default Mates 4x4 saph-No spark???

Mates just bought another 4x4 saph, car drove ok until a couple of days ago, now won't start and has NO SPARK????
We have tried a different CPS/COIL/IGNITION AMP and checked general wiring, AND the relays and fuel pump is priming up, but still nothing....
We did think maybe a phase sensor issue, but would this cause no spark or would it just run shit???? Had a look at plugs and leads and phase sensor/dizzy also, but nothing obvious there.

Lol nae yet!
He's got it running now, problem with the coil wiring apparently, looking forward to getting a spin in it.
Speaking of which, i need to get that Millers oil off you if you still have it?

Cheers, was a strange problem as we tried different things on it, turned out to be the connectors on the coil from what he told me. Just glad it's fixed, now he can help me fix my white one
