Hi
my mate was diving his subaru liberty and it stalled the battery had been dead for a few days and he just jump started it everyday, we went down to jump it and it wouldnd start we pulled a spark plug and it had no spark, so we put a set of coils from a hyundia engine sitting in the corner of the shed and still no spark. any idias?

You need to buy a tin of fresh sparks...
Or...
Check that you have power to the coil when the ignition is on.

Tell me - how did you connect up to jump start the car?
Did you connect pos to pos & neg to neg on both batteries or not??

Im guessing that sarcasm aside ALPINE RAVEN was checking whether you actually connected a negative to the body on the jumped car and not the battery and whether you had a surge protector on the leads and may have blown something else besides the fuseable link. But then again I am only guessing.

even with a good battery supplying jumper power to your crapped out battery may not be enough for ignition spark - sometimes
