I've got an M reg 1.4ies tipo.
The car died so I replaced the alternator, the car would then start but when you accelerated the engine would stop but it would then start with the first turn of the key.
The next day it would not start at all, replaced the coil and the leads because it had no spark but even with the new coil and leads there is still no spark.
Any help would be gratefully received.

When you switch the ignition on, do you here the fuel pump run to pressurise the fuel [you should here a click of the relay]? Sounds like classic fuel starvation, either by a blocked tank pickup, faulty fuel pump, fuel pump relay or connections at the pump. Also blocked fuel filter. Check or have these checked out.

fuel pump and system are all ok, just still getting no spark from the coil
anybody have any more ideas before i totally flip.:bang:
 
If the fuel pump is running, its not the crank sensor, as the fuel relay needs a signal from it to run. Are you sure the fuel pump is running? If it is, then iam afraid you may have an ECU problem.
