Because it helps if people know what car it is

What have you done yourself so far?

The fact it has fuel shows the CPS to be working, so if you are able to check the coil has a live feed on the black wire WITH the ignition on, check king lead is securely connected, rotor arm and cap are good.

After that we are onto more advanced things such as looking at ignition amps etc.

Just the fact you wanted help, but didnt mention what car you wanted help with lol

Have you checked all the usual things? Leads, coil, ecu, dizzy, sensors?

Sorry I was fucked off with it earlier, I'll go into more detail, I had my engine rebuilt and while It was out I bought a new Cw loom.now when I took the old loom out there was a wire that ran from the multi plug to the drivers side somewhere I'm assuming now its immobiliser related as now I have no spark, my problem is I'm not a mechanic or a auto elec, and I don't know which pin this wire goes to and I don't feel overly confident in trying,
So I will pay for someone to come a help me out

A full aftermarket engine loom is plug and play so unless you have cut into it to fit an Imobilizer there should be no reason for no spark really, unless a power feed to the loom has been cut.

Test for power to the coil and ecu as a starting point.
