Ok all starts is I changed the spark plugs in my cl1 euro r the other day then went to fire it up and wouldn't go.
So I put the old plugs back in (as it was running fine before I did any of this) And still wouldn't go.
One thing I did do tho was first time I tried it with the new plugs I forgot to put one of the spark plug leads on....it started up then died. Dont know if that done any damage but it wouldn't go after that attempt.
Have tried checking for spark and get nothing, all the plugs/leads etc are in correctly, took the dizzy cap off and check for loose connections but was all good.
Any thoughts on this guys I reall yneed this going asap cheers

Pull one of the plug wires out of the head, insert a spark plug, and hold the strap on the plug to a ground point while someone tries to crank the engine and see if you're getting a spark.
EDIT: You're not getting spark... Have you tested every cylinder? Starting it with one disconnected won't cause damage, so I'm not sure why you all of a sudden wouldn't get spark. There are some sensors that if unplugged would prevent spark, but you only pulled the plugs right?

Check your firing order. If all is well there, replace your plug wires as they may have been damaged when you were removing them to replace the plugs.

Yeah have tested every cylinder, will check the firing order again, but when I replaced the plugs I did one at a time eg: Remove the lead, remove old plug, put new plug in, lead back on then move on to the next one.
So the firing order should've been right as the car was working before I done all this.
Im leaning towards the ignition coil I think, is there anyway to check if the leads are goneburger besides just looking at them?
Am also going to do a error check on the ecu see if anything comes up, but if it is dizzy related it wont flash a code right? Or would it be one of the four misfire codes?

i have exactly the same problem, try tow starting it, once its warm its fine but when its cold, its sluggish to start, i replaced the ignition coil on mine and the spark plugs with ngk ridiums, but still nothing
