I took the line off as you suggested and it was dry. As I mentioned, it looks new so I'm guessing it isn't the problem. A few of the vac lines are old and cracking and needing replacement but it wouldn't kill the car such as has happened. It DID work for a few days.

There's spark coming to #1 plug. Took timing cover off and had my wife fractionally turn over and all of the belt is intact and still in good condition.

Tried car again (with foot on floor) and still nothing. Plugs soaked again too.

Alex suggested it may be the coolant sensor. That will have to be tomorrow's job.
