I would be more inclined to say No Spark as that is the usual syptoms for a knackered CPS.

Someone will probably corrrest me tho lol

Ignore. Didn't realize it was a Fiesta. Though it was an Escort Cosworth.

is it possible that it could be the fuel cut of switch due to being involved in a bump

It is an Escort Cosworth

T28 car converted to weber management.

I think the crank sensor does just the spark? Well i'd say if you have spark you should have injectors... Does the fuel pump prime?

Injectors are fed from the same relay as the ecu, idle valve and boost valve.
See: http://www.siipicossu.com/manuaaleja/engine2.jpg
Could be fuse 3 or fuse 25.
Also see: http://www.siipicossu.com/manuaaleja/engine1.jpg
Inertia switch only blocks the fuel pump as you can see above.

I assume you used a wiring loom from an Escort Cosworth.
If not, please specify which wiring loom is used.

4x4 loom is basically the same as the Escort loom
http://www.siipicossu.com/manuaaleja...ediagramL8.pdf
Main relay has two outputs: 87 and 87a.
Perhaps one of these does not make contact.

Have you checked all the fuses/relays lad?

If the loom is good, it has to be something like that? Also are the crank and phase sensors gapped correctly? Something silly to check - you haven't plugged the Crank sensor into the knock sensor connector on the loom by mistake?

Should effect +VE to the injectors, but they will have no -VE pulse to open them without the CPS, so yes essentially they end up with no power, as to have power requires both +VE and -VE

On some ECU's it will be the other way around and they will have -VE but not +VE pulse, depends on if they are + or - switched in the first place, but either way they wont ever operate.

Does the rev counter move when you crank it over?

Is the rev counter working when you turn the car over?

Try doing so with the plugs taken out if in any doubt as it should spin over a lot faster then.

Do you have BOTH no pulse and no LIVE, the main power relay that feeds the LIVE to the injectors and the ecu's are fed from terminal 87 on the relay, 87a is a changeover relay marking, this extra 87a is not used by ford as not needed just the std 4 terminal switching relay, where on a relay a extra 87a terminal exists it is in the centre of the other four that around the edges, and so won't be connected as relay holder is designed/wired for a 4 pin relay.
On cossies the injectors are pulsed negatively by the ecu when in receipt of power and good crank signal, phase is only used when starting, if out of phase it will over fuel massively.
