ignition amplifier-fair bet
pull king lead off distributor-hold it 5mm from body and crank-have you a spark?
 
instant cut out and amps notorious,but fuel pump is possible as well
 
got spark from coil good an got spark at plug good . fuel pump works if u put a direct power , i live in milton keynes , i think thats in my profile but not sure
 
Fuel pump and or senders ****ed happened to mine a few months ago on the face of it looks like fuel starvation but bet you its the pump an sender
 
new fuel pump/sender was fitted few days b 4 the problem , no power 2 the pump but works if i dirrect feed it , can get fuel 2 the engine but not past the fuel injectors , have checked fuel flow when constant power on so not fuel starvation
 
If you have a Haynes manual it'll tell you the sequence of checks to do to check the Ignition Amplifier module and coil connections. Looks a bit long winded but I worked through it last year with a multimeter and it was my module causing part of the problem (along with the fuel temp sensor). Are you definite about there being no wires off at the end of the ignition barrel?
 
all wires look like there where they should b on the ignition , none come of if you poke arond under there , havent got a manual yet but is ordered an on its way
 
under rear of passenger front seat right corner as you look at back of seat, could just need pushing down, sorry thought you knew it had one, any problem finding it let me know
 
omg , found the fault , a block connecter had jus ever so slightly come apart , not completely but enough to break connection , many thanx to everyone that took the time to look and help , many thanx , tom .
