Default PLEASE HELP - CARS PROBS!!!!!!!

Ok, I really need your advice, Orion, with a fiesta turbo engine, here's the story:

Got in my car this morning, starts fine, but missing it tits off, like it does most mornings, but as always it cleared after driving it, so didn't think anything of it, absolutly stunk of petrol until the missing stoped, drives it 6 mile from my fellas to mine, puts it on the drive, goes in for 5 mins to get changed gets back in it, won't fire up, just turning over, checked for a spark and there is absoluty nothing...

Had a booster pack on it, but didn't do a thing, being a bird and all I havn't a clue....

Where do I start????


PLease, please help!!!!!

Check the coil lead is on properly and in good order, also the electrical plugs to the coil.

Check all the connectors to the lump and ECU to make sure something hasn't worked loose or got damp into it. Start there but I am sure someone may have a less vague idea of wht it could be.

How did you check for a spark, spark plug out etc??

From the sounds of it it may need a good service, plugs and leads etc etc as the damp weather starts to play havoc.
