do you actually have engine light on when you turn on ignition?
Is your igniter earthed?
Check for loose ground points (especially the one on intake manifold, coming from loom)...
Are the injectors firing?

what sort of car/4age? have you had the coil tested? is there power at the coil?
ive just had a huge mission sussing out why mine didnt have any spark...i had done a conversion though so probably won't be the same problems as urs.
