Blew the engine starting the car(!?)

OK update for those that care to look, or remember this thread. Also because I am happy. 
I was wrong and ignorant to ignore the suggestions of an ignition problem! Apologies to those who suggested it. Turned out I had a bad leading coil. I spent a lot of time trouble shooting my wiring after I had sourced some "new" primary injectors and they failed to remedy the issue. I never would have thought a bad coil could make the engine run so lean. It wasn't even firing!
Anyway I finally got a "new" leading in this morning and she started right up. The engine seemed smoother and more responsive too compared to when it was even running!
So... what's going to break next
