mk2 gti not starting

[dazzap1989]

hi i am new to the forum and due to the car not starting i have decided to join here in the hope that someone has an idea as to why my car wont start.

i have an f reg mk2 gti and it has been sat still for a week (whilst we had all the snow)...went to start it the yesterday and although its turning over just fine it wont fire. have checked dizzy cap, plugs, injectors, and they all seem fine...have been told the ignition coil doesnt seem as strong as it could be but was fine before...i've run out of ideas on this so any help would be appreciated

thanks guys n girls!!!!

Is the fuel pump priming when you turn the ignition on?

Has it been sat outside in all the bad weather or in a a garage? could just be the dizzys got all damp inside

yh the fuel pump is priming n there is a v. strong smell of fuel now 

and yup been sat outside all week, i've taken the dizzy cap off n gave it a quick dab with a cloth but tht was at night and couldnt see much, will give it a proper going over today.

so it runs for a few seconds then stops yes? constant running with ign on is sign ecu bust

no it dont start at all, it turns over but dnt run.
