Stupid fapping barstewarding car!!!!

Went out in all that rain on Saturday, put the car to bed and when i got in it Sunday morning to go out it wouldn't start, it was turning over fine, but just wouldn't fire!
Sooo terry has come to my rescue (with help of some telephone friends - you know who your are and has done the following to try and sort it:
Replaced CPS
Swapped Coil Pack - From terrys working one!
New plugs
Swapped ECU - From terrys working one!
Checked for spark (ok)
Checked for fuel (ok)

Had a recovery bloke out who managed to get it started after continuous turning over, when it started it was mis-firing, and sounded like a tractor! After revving it for abit it wouldn't idle on its own and just cuts out. Then its a mission to try and start again

Any help muchly appreciated or its going to the scrap yard!

is the spark still weak or ok now ?

if it is ok, like i said to terry in a txt earlier timing my dear watson !

if its fueling and there is a spark thats all it can be ( unless im being dense and missing something stupidly simple )

i wouldnt of thought the timin would change ova nite really.

hw was the car drivin before u parked it up for the nite???

u can see hw strong spark is if u lean the plug agains rocker cover nd watch the jump,

plug gaps alright? sounds daft but mine was being a bástard and we couldnt figure it out till we faffed with the plug gaps.

Also, checked for any air leaks, in any of the pipes, the inlet manifolds etc as if they are bad it wouldnt wanna start, as you probably read.. I had them major air leak problems causing my car to not idle or start every now and then

Don't give up, not worth scrapping!

Need space and time and I'll crack on with Jams si!

Catch me on Facebook as I'm rarely on here.

Timing could have jumped out by a tooth or so, if you've hit a bump etc and the belts jumped.

If the timings right, im stumped but ill have a good think for you! Chin up!

Save the trees, wipe your arse with a Cosworth

i had the same problem with my 1.6 si

sounds like a broken valve spring or burnt out valve best thing to do is get a compression test done on it next

broken valve spring would make all sorts of noises.

They have tried new and old plugs Happypaul.
They managed to get a weak spark with the old plugs so put new ones in and nothing. then put the old ones back in and no spark again.

Leads are newish i think terry said and they have tried the coilpack from terrys car as well as the ecu so that rules out the sparking system

got toi bhe coil pack when u change it look for the same serial number on the coil pack there are diffenret ones with different numbers if its a weak spark its got be related to the coil pack alos check the loom on the coil pack

or is it a injector stuck open and flooding the car also could be lambda could be anythin the only way to find out instead of wasting money is get a diagnostic tester on it we could be here all day guessing

Along the lines of what Garry said.....

Rough just at idle?
Any throttle control?
Do revs rise and fall in anything other than a normal fashion?


How new are your dizzy and leads??

have u tried camshaft sensor

i think tbh boost she would be best taking it for a diagnostic test because really wasting all this money on unessecary things no point because u could spen like £10 on one and still wont do anything personally if it was my car i would take it for a diagnsotic test

the breakdown man should of done one but didnt

Thanks for your replies guys, we have given up and its going to be towed to my local garage hopefully tomorrow and fingers crossed he figures out the problem!!! If its the cat im getting a de-cat pipe!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Thanks again
