Gonna change the relays next the guy who looked at my car said he had a similar problem with his corrado and it was his relay 72. Its definately not the fuel relay i took the fuel line off and turned the engine and it pissed everywhere

Corrado relay no.72 could be different to a Mk3 relay 72. Saying that because:

Relay 72 is for the rear wash/wipe function.

Have you had the car scanned for faults? If nothing comes up I'd definately do what harlemex said and get a compression test done.

Few things though, you said intially your fuel consumption halved and the car felt flat... Skipped timing could cause that.
Then the spark sequence wasn't correct, again, cam (dizzy) to crankshaft correlation could be out giving that fault.

Get a compression test done as said or simply just check the timing marks are all in place.

If all is ok, even after changing your relays, check over all the new parts that you have bought. You mentioned a weak orange spark, it should be bright white/blue colour indicating high resistance through a faulty part?

Hope you nail this

Relays 30 & 167. For the sake of just £10 each and 5 mins to do, it's the most obvious choice before larger expense.

Faulty car + diagnostics machine = no faults

Done the cheap obvious relays yet!?

[NERF 69]
