Default s2 starting problems

Hi guys,

Got an annoying problem with my escort s2 rs,

At the moment i'm getting no spark the car turns but doesn't fire, i've tried jump starting it and pull starting but no joy. The positive on the coil is recieving power going in, how do i go about checking the negative and where do the wires off the negative on the coil side go to? Is there a way of checking the coil alone?

finally has anyone got a wiring diagram for the car??

thanks in advance

Dave

its a mfi set up btw, i also noticed that when we tried tow starting the car, the car would turn on but the rev needle wouldn't move nor would the car respond to throttle (almost felt like it was just idling only)
