Default leads for wasted spark?

I'm fault finding with the saff at the mo, its only running on 3. All the injectors are injecting, compression is fine, but pot 2 looks to have a much weaker spark to the others. Tried swapping leads round and it's still not running right.
I'm running a coilpack, msd's own leads and 071's. I've got a new set of plugs coming tomorrow and i've got a spare coilpack to test, anyone know what leads will fit the early zetec coilpack AND have enough reach to get to the plugs? Dont wanna buy more leads off msd )or anyone else for that matter!) until I know whats wrong.

Ta for any help

If you ahve swopped leads around and its made no difference. Why do you want to try more leads?

You could try swopping both left to both right on the coil pack and then reverse the WS conection to pin 25 and 26 inside the ecu to test the coil itself too.

Poor spark plug?

Ignition amp for that bank or wiring to it is a possibility, although a more unlikely one.
