Still no spark - started Ground Location B

Hi! again , The coil plate is insulated and also the cam cover so it is very important to make sure the plate is grounded to the cylinder head to complete the curcuit , the wires to the coils are FEED/LIVE , it may be an idea to check continuity THROUGH the coils to the ground plate as well . There are several ground wires under the inlet manifold ( my engine is a 7MGTE ) and these were the cause of not sparking -I forgot to connect them , they are hidden , you will need a good mirror . The colour of my coil plate / ground wire ( green with yellow stripe ) is the UK mains wiring code for EARTH/GROUND.
