So you changed the spark plug on number 1 and it started working again?

What does that tell you?

means its sparking but not firering the spark plugs are fine

Do you mean you pulled out coil from cyl 1 and put a old plug in it, and earthed the plug somewhere on the car and cranked it, and the coil is firing the spark plug okay?

If thats the case, then maybe its your injectors? check all your injectors are getting power to each plug. If its got spark and its not firing, then it probably doesnt have fuel. Maybe your injectors are completely buggered, or maybe they are dirty.

Did it just "happen" one day, or have you done something to your car and now its not working?

All it tells you is that #1 coil is working.

Have you checked the spark plugs in 1,3,5 cylinders? Have you checked that the injectors are working - maybe they need a good clean?

what happened was i spun out round a corner when i started it again it was running on 3 cyclinders and wouldbt boost was blowing heaps of white smoke it all so burnt my boost line from my waste gate to the turbo where u put ur boost controller so it was ventin to the air thought it was a blowen head gaskit but since then have conpressen tested the motor seems to be fine hasnt used any coolant at all and the oil is fine looks brand new still

yeah i pulled out the coil pack from cyclinder 1 put a old plug in it to see if it was sparking its sparking fine so its not a sparking issue im yet to get a led test light to check the injector pulse. all so have swapped my inighter pack over and swaped my ecu with another car that was working fine did nothing different so cant be that

Doesnt mean they arent fouled.

You can check everything else on the car but with out pulling the plugs there isnt much point.

But If you dont think its your plugs, Id start checking the Diff and the handbrake cable, cause that will fix the problem.
