another golf wont start

[g8lf16v]

My golf gti mk1 8v was stuttering ang stalling a few days ago, now the engine wont start, It seems to be popping from the air filter pipe.

I;ve crack the fitting from the fuel filter to the metering head there's LOTS of presure fuel sprayed everywhere, I have just have replaced the spark plugs, dizzy cap, air filter and oil change.

have you put the leads on the correct way? i know its stupid but i messed up this!

[g8lf16v]

I thought so but maybe not, iam gonna check after work.

[rossbarry1]

the order is different for 8/16v i think so check, i think 8v is 1342. hope that helps

[g8lf16v]

I've checked and I don't think it's firing on the first cylinder, but haven't got a clue how do it :-(

[rossbarry1]

is there a spark?

[g8lf16v]

Yes all spark plugs have a spark but not sure if they are firing in the right order.

turn the engine to TDC and look where the dizzy rotor arm is, thats where lead 1 will go once you put the cap back on. Then its 1342 clockwise.
