Remove the centre lead from the distributor, is there a spark from the coil?

yeah the coil is sparking.
i have just noticed that a black wire which is hanging. it comes along with the wires that go the idle stabliser valve and the ones that go to the injection rail. any ideas where that goes?

Can you put a pic on the gallery?
Have you removed the distributor?
If you have then make sure it is engaged in the slot.

Is the ignition timing correct?
Try cranking the engine while a mate turns the dizzy back and foward.
