Hi mate and welcome

I had the same problem and only just sussed it out yesterday, it turned out to be one of the big green fuses under the bonnet (not the small blade fuses) it was slightly cracked and hard to see the fault but it stopped my car from sparking https://www.scoobynet.com/general-te...ark-plugs.html

Does the engine turn over fast or normal speed? lets hope its not the timing belt.

Had a new cambelt fitted a while before i tuck it off the road,but i have checked it and its ok.The engine turns over normal.I did check the fuses but now youve said that i will have a closer look at them.Cheers
