    spins over lovely
    got earth for gearbox and earth from alternator bracket to battery there all ok and good no issues there
    this is whats bugging me as everythink is/looks ok wiring wise
    its just there is no power to the coil
    i spoke to nobby and sloth on the phone earlier
    sloth said about putting a ht lead straight on the coil with a plug in it to see if theres any power to the coil
    and there wasnt no spark
    the plug for it is abit broken but still is on there nicely
    iv got all the wires connected that should be
    thing is it run in nobby's ok
    and literally all we did was take it out of his and put it in mine
    so cant see what is wrong with it
    anyone fancy coming to give me a hand
    other wise i can see it ending up in 2 pieces and on fire like the cavalier and the astra coupe

    The alt earth doesnt go to the battery,theres a strap going from the alt bracket to inlet manfold if its the same as an Xe
    Have you wired up an ecu light on your clocks? Its a Brown/blue trace

    no you've miss-understood i just put the battery earth to the alternator bracket just so it is earthed as i lost my proper nova one and im using the one that was left on the f28 gear box so its not long enough to go anywere else really

    yer got it to the yellow/brown (iirc thats the one) but its to the right one
    but no light is coming on
    im in two minds to whether the ecu is getting any power or not
    as i would have thought it would be on if it was powered
    just really tedious that it sitting there spinning but no firing
    really could do with an extrta pair of eyes to give me a hand
    as im trying to do everything on my own
    and trying to turn the car over and look and the plugs is a proper chore

    i would mate but my phone went on a spastic one over heated and now the battery is dead
    but got everything wired properly to each wire using bullet connectors
    (due to knowing what wiring is like and how much of a pain in the **** it is)
    the only thing that i think may be the reason is the ign. live for that has to be wired up
    i tried putting it to the battery to see what happened but still nothing
    no spark no light no broom broom
