Sounds daft but are your leads in the right order? My missus' dopey uncle had this problem  You said in your first post you tried jump starting but it does work. Is that DOES work, or DOESN'T work? |

fuel is definately getting through this might be silly but how can i check if im getting a spark?? I have had new spark plugs done |

| Post subject: | Re: car wont start |
good good that fuel is getting thro, did you check via the pressure relief valve on the fuel rail? to check your getting a spark, remove a spark plug, re-attach your HT lead then hold the plug near some conductive metal and then get someone to turn it over look carefully at the plug to check you can see a spark |

PLEASE MAKE SURE u have all the leads on the right plugs and on the right terminal on the coil pack....... by any silly chance has ur starter motor broken....... try hit it with a hammer as it might have bin jammed... or the thing inside has snapped.... scrappy do these for 20pound for the whole motor and solenoid.... might not be but that could have happend...... |

Job well done by the original mechanic then Did your head gasket blow in spectacular fashion before then? |
