crank but won't start

Post by miib14 »

Hi guys,

Got a problem with car, the car cranks but won't start.

Fuel is there and there's a spark, no immobiliser

its a rev 3 3sge btw

I tried starting it this morning and it started for afew seconds but then stalled and now it won't start at all..

So I thought I may have flooded it with fuel, pulled the plugs out and wiped them down and put them back in and it started again for afew seconds but stalled..
It won't start

Dunno what to do

Any help?

How have you determined you have fuel and spark?

When was it last driven?

I had this problem with mine, sounds like a wet coil. Pull the leads an connections off, wd-40 and it will fire up, I'm sure of it. I got my car cheap because if that, replaced the usual thing then discovered it was that!
