Mike firstly please don't type in Caps it is deemed shouting & is damn hard to read!

I don't fully understand the issue, are you saying it won't start & the plugs are plug? If this is the case then the plugs need swapping & you need to find out if you have a spark. Also does the rev counter bounce off the stop when it is turning over?
First shot is always change the DME relay & reseat all of the relays & fuses. Check the ignition fuses are clean & OK.
Does the fuel pump run for a few seconds when you first spin the key? You may need someone laying underneath by the tank as it is well insulated. When you say the plugs are black are they black & wet or dry?

Have look in the links section for Clarks garage. He's posted some step by step troubleshooting guides on there.
