No spark...Zetec 1.7 SE

As title suggests...car was firing up perfectly then overnight it fired up but misfired, now it doesn’t fire up and I have no spark. Any ideas?

CPS sensor or a dodgy wiring conection i would go for

Not coil pack....as I was saying it was firing up but misfiring for a couple of starts but now nothing.

has it run out of fuel?

Earths seem to be the root of most electrical problems. Its a pain I know but check everything relevant. If you are using standard immobiliser check key orientation. Good luck.

I had a similar thing on my Haynes. I sent my carbs off for rebuild and when I got them back it wouldn't fire.

Turns out one of the crimped connectors providing power to the EDIS module had pulled out so I had no spark.

There is a check you can do with the coil pack wiring to confirm you are getting a spark signal. I'm not really sure what it is I'm afraid.

yea but often people state 'no spark' when they mean not firing. and infinitely better then a new post saying 'A'

So....I’m hoping that it’s the ECU fuse as fuel pump isn’t working either...Would you think this the culprit?
