Narrative:
While working final G scope I received aircraft X on a downwind west of mco. I coordinated with arm to 'go low' and to stagger off of his traffic. Aircraft Y was 3.6 miles ahead of aircraft X when the turn and approach clearance was issued. Traffic behind aircraft Y going to runway 17L was no factor since arm kept the aircraft above aircraft X. When aircraft X was issued the approach clearance he was instructed to maintain a safe altitude until established on the final approach course. I observed the aircraft go through the final and keep descending. I also observed an increase of speed to in excess of 220 knots 5 miles north of mco. Realizing this was not a stable approach I canceled his approach clearance and told him to climb to 3;000 feet and turn right heading 270. I issued this instruction several times. The loss of separation happened after he was told to break off the approach and to climb and turn. After I brought aircraft X to a downwind; I stated; 'expect direct habra with your approach clearance.' I subsequently turned his base leg. Several seconds later I turned him direct habra and told him to maintain 4;000 feet. A heavy aircraft was on established at 3;000 feet on final for 17L. I observed him not making the turn so I instructed him to turn right heading 180 when able direct habra to join the final approach course. I asked him if he was able to make an RNAV approach to which he replied yes. I observed him east of the final approach course and not turning to habra. When he was due east of habra I told him I would not be able to clear him for the approach since he was not established. He then reported the airport in sight. I instructed him to maintain 2;500 feet until south of cobop and cleared him for the visual approach. He did not read back the restriction so I reissued it and had him read it back. The closest the aircraft came to each other was 2.68 miles and 400 feet.I do not know what recommendation I could make for myself. I could have broken him out a little sooner or realized he was behind the airplane and given him a longer downwind; but even after re-sequencing him and giving him a longer downwind he was not able to execute the approach properly. I am open to any input or suggestions.
