Hi all,

Have always consulted your forum in the past when in need of some advice but until today never needed to post as always found what I was looking for so please excuse my low post rating and not having joined until today, I have been reading through various threads to try and sort out my problem and as of yet haven't so if poss I would like a bit of advice please.

Got an 95 X300 3.2 sport which I have had for nearly 2 years, its been running great till yesterday, popped to the shop and on way back it just died, no coughing or spluttering just cut out, didn't notice any codes, so got it towed home and been having a look this morning.

Engine turns over as normal, Checked all fuses - Ok, when turning on ignition fuel pump runs for a few seconds then shuts off, undone fuel pipe leading from tank and again when turning ignition on fuel is ejected and fills around 1/4 of a jam jar so Removed the crank sensor and cleaned and put back.

Removed plug coil #1 and found a spare plug and checked for spark - Nothing ( held plug against bolt head on head cover is this best place to get spark as not allot of length on wires to reach anywhere else).
So it seems I don't have a spark at the plugs.
What would be the best action to take next ?
I'm fairly handy mechanical wise but no expert and didn't want to start pulling things apart needlessly.
any advice would be really really great

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

Just to add, when I removed the Fuel pipe and turned on the ignition the fuel flowed for a couple of seconds but as the engine was cranking over no fuel was being ejected from the pipe, is this normal ?
