1.8 petrol not starting - Page 2

I haven't checked it yet but wanted to get the car to at least fire on easy start so I know it will.

Right checked car this am. It has a new crank sensor in it and the battery has been on charge for 24 hours. Held spark plug against the head and turned it over...no spark. Tried it with another lead and that sparkplug had no spark either.
So with two of the cylinders getting no spark I'm guessing the other two aren't either.
Any ideas where and what could be the problem?

Change the coil pack then,if there's no spark,could be that

With no spark my first thought would be crank sensor but you have changed that. I would now check for power at the coils, there are 2 wires, ones an ignition live the other is earthed by the ecu. I'm guessing that you may not have a live at the coil pack? If so check the fuses as I would have thought it would at least attempt to fire with easy start if it was just a fuel problem. Also check the large maxi fuse near the battery.
