No spark to any cylinder? Is the immobiliser light staying on?
No there is no immobiliser light on.
Re: Stilo Abarth no spark
Any one???
Any one???
Spark Plugs?
Any error messages?
OP, how do you know there is no spark 
I have had the car on the computer and it is coming up with an error message for the throttle pedal sensor. Could it be this?
Are you going to answer posts 5,6 and 7 above? No point people making suggestions if you're not going to respond to them.
What does the message say? and what is the fault code?

Sorry. The spark plugs have already been changed as the car has had a replacement engine fitted, my friend checked that there is no spark by taking out each plug and trying to turn engine over and there are no error messages. I will have to get the fault code but the message is throttle pedal position sensor.
anyone???
I will give that a try. But what about the error message.
It won't be HT leads as they don't have them, the coils sits directly on top of the spark plugs ...... You say you had a new engine fitted did it run after it was fitted or has it not ran at all prior to being fitted? If it didn't run, maybe there's a problem with the crank sensor? I remember once I did a head gasket on a punto and fitted the crank pulley on the wrong way round (180 degrees out) so the sensor never picked up the mark on the pulley at the right time and thus never started.
After the engine was fitted the car was running.
Also the car is turning over nice and strong but just not firing and it is comming up with all sort of errors on the dash display like esr faliure, airbag, engine mangement light is on and its saying loose connection.
I'm still thinking it might be a crank or cam sensor failure, but without pluging it in to a diagnostic machine to see what codes come up you'll never be certain as it could be anything? This is the problem with modern cars and all thier technology - bring back the carburettors!!
bring back the carburettors!!
Ah! Those were the days! Twin, twin-choke downdraught Dellorto's on my Alfasud Sprint...mmmmm!
