You usually find that after you've spent sh!t loads of money it's something stupid like a dodgy earth. Keep the faith Mate will be worth it in the end. Let me know how you get on.     Cheers      Deano

Right...probably the stupidest thing ive ever done...i had the wire from the starter to the alternator bolted on but when i was doing the clutch id tucked the wire from the battery to the starter behind the washer bottle  :embarassed: silly boy, so ive connected that back up and the engine is turning over again

but.....it wont start  :angry:

Ive just replaced the coil pack, dizzy cap, rotor arm, plug leads and spark plugs and it still will not start

it sounds like its going to start but it just wont fire  :angry: what should i be checking now?? im getting fed up throwing money at this car

someone help please

Good that you've got it cranking.  Now...

(1)  Is it sparking?  Check that the cam sensor is plugged in. (on the dizzy)

(2)  Does the fuel pump prime when you turn the key to the "run" position?
