    What sort of condition is the battery in?
    Is it turning the engine or is there just a click from the solenoid?
    From your post it's a bit hard to say without more info. :wink:

    Stopping creating a spark says a few things. That it is electrical.
    The plugs have all died at once, unlikely.
    I take it you have had the plugs out and earthed them on the cam cover or somewhere and then checked for spark?
    The connectors at the TCI box are corroded, loose or dirty, possible.
    A chafed or snapped wire, possible.
    A bad earth, possible.
    The battery is not fully charged, possible.
