Check the main fuse or distributer

next to the battery theres a fuse / relay box check there

also close to the power steering reservoir is a fuse box....

if youre thinking its a no spark issue how did it start in the first instance..???
think about it.

you dont "test" a alternator to see if it charging by pulling out the battery pole while running.. you use a VOLTMETER....dont play technician if you know have basic knowledge or common sense. you cud seriously injure yourself or others.

It doesn't have spark since,"after" the incident....
All the fuzes at the battery is wires that makes a U there's no fuse there. Also by the resivour only has relay

Guys i changed 3 distributors and all same problem no spark.
Electrician said it's getting power from first time he came. Any ideas what it would be.... When his assistant was testing the wire the tester light wasn't all that bright... Could it be that it has insufficient current??
Because when he open the cap he said the coil only turning once.....

The possibility exists that some damage was done to the wiring harness or even the ECU when you reconnected the battery terminal whilst the car was still running. as you mentioned initially there were some sparks when you did that. I would recommend that you have the car checked by a PROFESSIONAL Auto Electrician before doing anything else.

could be ECU
check anil sooknanan on the forum, you may have to get the car towed there though
he sorted out an ecu problem for me where as quite a few others didnt know what to do and had me buying coil packs, injectors etc
