welcome in Jason
Check the leads , at the plug cap end the leads tend to come loose try pushing the or screwing the plug cap back on , some times you need to cut a little off the lead to make it screw on better & connect

nice one buddy & thanks for letting us know you got it sorted , did you need new coils ?

What was the reason then?

[joshsam8]

HI, everyone as i said sparks were jumping through the coils and not down the plugs so me and my mate pulled the rubber boots off them and found a brilliant spark popped to halfords bought four new plugs and now its never sounded so sweet but everything was pointing to the coils always take those boots off the coils befour you buy boys
