Car Got spark and got fuel but wont start :(

[Mr Blue]

Most likely the ignition moduel ontop of the ECU or a broken wire/connector on the dizzy electrical plug.

If it was ignition modual on top of ecu I couldn't get power to coil or dizzy, I'm getting a spark at the plugs

You can get spark all you like, but if the timming is off it will never start possible Hall sender to throw you in the mix!

Defective Maf would have made it harder to start, but it would splutter into life in most cases!

im changing the maf unit as i defo got life while playing with the needle and the tracks do look like they seen better days, once i got a different maf in place i will work on the dizzy position more, its more or less in correct place, ive tryed 2 distributors so i dont think it will be a fault hall sender as both gave a spark, ill see what happens when i replace the maf unit

happend to me 3 times. I had fuel, spark etc. Wouldnt run. Deffo try the ign mod. Cheap as chips to replace

[Bigdunc]

I have tryed a modual as I have about 3 and still no go, so far I've tryed 2 ecu's , 3 modules, 2 distributors , new plugs , ecu relay, new coil, the only thinky I haven't tryed is the maf

Definitely sure your belt hasn't jumped a tooth or two? Everything is pointing to the timing being out.

I'm with Slick here mate you checked all timing markers TDC.
I was in a simular situation and did exactly what you have, it was the bloody hall sender in the end for me! Unless there is a faulty HT lead which I touched to my dismay once

[Bigdunc]

I will check belt hasn't slipped, the highlift with standard pully puts it out slightly anyway but think belt is ok, i have tryed 2 distributors and I doubt i have 2 with faulty hall senders but possible, I have tryed 2 sets of leads and 2 caps, I even taken the plastic ends off the leads so I can clip leads in to be 100% there connecting. I should have a known working maf this weekend so lets hope that helps me get life

You say that...... I had two bad brand new coils once! 
I've learned to have a mates car nick his known working parts just to save time 
Hey Dunc did you do a compresson test when you pulled the plugs?
One other thing I've known bad earths to cause major electrical issues even burn out good componets try a continuity test and see if anything goes to earth?
