still no engine working no spark - plan to sort that tomorrow, evidence suggests i wired up the coilpack slightly wrong

daddy isnt a happy bunny, but then would you be with 4.5 litres of engine oil over your drive (i forgot to put the sump plug in before filling her up with oil )

fitted sump plug, and succeeded in stripping the thread out of the sump, so i then had to remove exhaust, remove damn sump, and refit a spare one i had luckily, all while lying on my back with no room to move!

if it doesnt work tomorrow im going to cry, and hit it with a stick! bloody thing

rant over, thankyou for your time

i wound it in by hand, and then tightened it up and SNAP there goes the thread

still no spark, not got a clue whats wrong now. coil has 3 wires, 1 should be 12v, and 2 trigger wires. mine has 2 live wires and another wire, that goes live when connected as if the coil is shorting the lot out

looking like no PVS for me
