Ford Fiesta SI 1995

Car - 1995 Ford Fiesta Si
Problem - Will not start (Have never heard it run either but we have compression which is always good)

I am going on the assumption that it has run recently as it was PX'ed 3 weeks ago and was driven in but I purchased from a salvage yard.

So from starting there is many possibilities ...

From the Key - Ignition relay?
Coil?
HT Leads?
Spark Plugs
Brand new battery
Earth strap

The car turns over but isnt catching? I have fuel going to it as there is a bleed valve on the fuel rail which we checked but i am guessing its not sparking due but for what reason I am unsure.

How do I test the sparks are working as I "thought" if you earthed a plug you would see it spark?

Anything else I have missed? Ideally I need her running by saturday!

Thanks Guys

Doesn't it have an immobiliser whose keys need programming? I bought a '96 Fiesta as salvage about five years ago and I think I had to have the keys programmed at the dealer. Problem is it's a while ago and I can't be certain.
