Mk2 fiesta with zvh engine turbo
Have issues with getting a spark trued everything new
eg: coil leads cap different distributor rotate arm
timing . Just can’t get a spark now tested leads to coil and no power tryed putting 12v straight to coil still no spark.
the fuel relay doesn’t kick in on its own so I took cover off the relay and manual operate the relay
the ignition relay is clicking in and out am I missing somthing ?
not done much work on these at all brought the car has a toy

Are you using the crank position sensor in the Zetec block for your management ?
If yes was the Zetec bottom end from an automatic ? If yes the crank position boss is differant to the manual.

The plugs cant be wet from fuel if the fuel relay isnt energising the fuel pump.. Even the cold start injector needs the fuel pump to prime it
Or does the fuel relay click to prime, but then doesnt run when cranking?
Have you checked the voltage to the coil when cranking? I know you said you ran 12v across it directly but if the wiring is sending the voltage too then the problem is obviously going to be the coil (nice easy/cheap fix!).

I’ve tryed everything does the green wire to the coil supposed to be the earth or isit the black wire it did rub the car but misfired a friend messed with it
but got no voltage to coil now don’t know if he’s put wires correct around
is there only power to coil when cranking

Coil will only see voltage at cranking/run
If you connect a testlight to the battery positive and then remove the green trigger (-) wire from the coil and put the other end of the testlight to this. When you crank the car over the testlight should flash. If not then you know the wire (or ecu) is at fault. You could pull the rubber boot back on the ecu connector and test the wire there, if its ok then there is a break somewhere in between. If it is, replace the wire or locate and repair the break
