Help needed - car not starting!

Post by Dan LB »

I've managed to break the '2 already :cry:

Basically i've moved the car from one side of the drive to the other, turned it off to work on it and then come back to it a couple of hours later to move it back to it's place and the thing won't start :(

There's no spark from the plugs, but the car does turnover strongly. I've left the engine to "deflood" itself of fuel just incase i have flooded it and i've replaced the spark plugs, ht leads, distributor cap and ht leads but it still doesn't want to start ](*,)

It also has 15 litres of fuel in it too

There's also a long, continual whirring coming from under the frunk from this "thing" to the left of the battery (looking into the frunk) - sorry i don't know what it is or what it does.

Any ideas as to why it's not starting?

Thanks in advance :)

Is there a spark coming from the coil/ignition pack?

We had one go on us at our last race :(
