Got a spark at the king lead?
Hall sender plugged in?
Can you hear the fuel pump whirring?
Battery fully charged or a bit flat?
Immobiliser?

Green wire from the coil??
Green wire on the coil is connected to terminal 1 (aka -ve) and will 'pulse' between 12V and 0V when the car is working properly and the engine turns over.
You want the other one, terminal 15, aka +ve, +, which has a couple of black wires connecting to it.

Its 100 times easier to check for electricity at the coil, than somewhere inside a multi plug connector on the back of the fusebox. Also, the coil's where you need the electricity, so it makes sense to check it there.
This is all based on your saying there's no spark.
AKA = also known as.

If what you say is true and it is 'green wire' related check the fuses, they may have become dislodged or even have gone faulty.
Also check your earths, anything electrical check the earths 1st.
