[Mk2] [Turbo] been trying to get my car started for 3days now and still no joy. HELP!!!!

Post by bigst3v3_x »

been trying to get my car started for 3days now and still no joy. i have pulled the plugs out they are fine, have a small amount of carbon on them but nothing to worry about, the leads are also fine.. i have tryed drying the ignitor and dizzy out as when i had it we had to dry it out as it had been sat for 4+ years. and its still not starting ):

could it be something to do with the fuel pump?

im meant to be selling it this week and now it suddenly decides to go wrong ):

please any info would be great thanks guys

sat for 4 years?

Have you checked for a spark?

Have you drained the fuel and popped some new stuff in?

The usual checks first:

Spark?
Fuel?

Then take it from there...

If its not starting like you're describing.. then it should be throwing an error code...
