bad earth ? Had this on a 2.0 eco wreck, the base plate was rusty and chucking up a random code to do with ignition, wire wooled all the earths and it was fine.
it ran perfect on idle soon as you put your foot some it was sluggish and popped its guts out

I can't see it being the engine loom if the other you tried did the same,

if it was a 1.2 8v the spi pump would maybe have been struggling as apposed to the mpi pump you have from the sport engine

its had 2 coilpacks, the original X25xe one and a known working C25xe one
slight difference in them but they both work, just the leads go a different way around and iv checked their on rite
