21 Turbo 21t don't start

Right I swapped my turbo on my 21 in the rain yesterday came to finish it off today tyred starting it and she won't go took a plug out no spark ???
 
no ive not tried the tdc are they still available ? ive checked the coil pack with multimeter to see if there is current and at the plugs that go to it and sems there is when ignition is on so all I can think of is distributor or like you say tdc

are the 5 turbo tdc the same as 21 as I have a couple of them laying around ?
Its not distributor if you have no spark at the king lead. Its got to be either coil/igniter, or something related to spark triggering like TDC sensor or ECU. My first priority would be trying another coil or taking my coil to another owner and testing it. I'd probably do the same with the ECU too, while im at it.
 
right ive put new tdc sensor on that dint work so that's that out ruled ive got a coil pack on the way so that's next im hoping its that....
can an ecu just die ?? is there any other thing it could be apart from ?

It could happen in theory (especially if it got wet) but saying that I have only ever seen one 21Turbo ECU fail, and the car still ran but the idle control system didnt work. It idled way too high. Theyre pretty tough!
Try the coil pack, if it's not that then lets see if we can find someone close willing to test the ECU and original Coil.
 
all sorted fellas was the coil pack I orderd one but after looking thro my 5 bits took the coil pack from one of the aei units and jobs a good un :clapping.gif::yes3.gif: thanks for all your help by the way.....:drinks.gif:
