1stly ,,, Which engine.

2ndly are you just concerning yourself with getting the engine to fire at the moment.

3rdly, is this a POST 90 loom, if so have you got the alarm module in place? or disabled the inhibitor?

Sierra 1.8cvh

Alarm/ inhibitor now then yes it was alarmed how would I de- inhibit it?

Yes I would like to fire it up at any rate and solve other probs later. Its spinning over on the key but no spark .Im beginning to suspect the coil---I may have welded earth tags to the chassis with the coil wired up and batt. connected.

Ok,

So.

You should have 2 bultiplugs on the engine loom,

On the big one apply +12V to the black wire,

Apply +12V to the +ve side of the coil

and assuming you have the main power feed to the ECU ( it's a big terminal on the engine harness) and the grounds.

Crancking should see it fire and run.
