So its not sparking? Which stopped after you ran out of petrol? Strange.

How do you know its not sparking? Have you taken a plug out?

Sounds like the coil to me Mate.

i would check 1st by pulling a plug 2 see if there isa spark!

Me too, or fuel pump. Relay?

could it be the crank sensor not sending a signal to the ecu?
