Getting 2 or 3 sparks then nothing until I turn of the key and back on
I have the plug out for testing, when I crank the car I get two or three sparks then nothing after that,
If I turn off the ignition and turn it back on I get the same again two or three sparks then nothing
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have some one cycle the ignition switch and while they do that you get under the shrouded bonnet and look for
Sparking Fairies dancing about your HV leads. If you see them, then use sand paper to buff the area, and continue. Common ares on these that I have found are the metal jackets to the block.
