HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD IT COULD BE IGNITION MODULE, MANUAL SAYS ITS ON LEFT HAND INNER WING BUT I CANNOT FIND IT

Step back take a deep breath and start fresh.
Check the basic
check for fuel and fuel pressure
check for spark on all cylinders
check injector pulse
check timing belt and timing marks
check for compression
let me know what is missing

Thanks for that I have checked all and everything seems ok, could it possibly be the cam censor not working

If the cam sensor no good, u will lose injector pulse or some other thing
u saying u have every thing
then I would check if u have contaminated fuel
catalytic converter and exhaust back pressure

spark good (thats to me means module and the ignition system is good )
you have fuel and good fuel pressure thats indicate fuel filter and fuel pump in good condition
compression good timing possible OK too
