Hi i have a 1991 s2 vn commodore it is duel fuel and it wont start.
I drove the car today without a problem but now all it does is turn over.
I checked to see if there is spark and there is.
I also thought it may have been flooded for some reason so i took the fuel pump fuse out and turned it over for ages but still with no luck.
Any one have any ideas, I miss my car already.
:b:

Can you hear the fuel pump start when you turn the ignition on? (one notch before it cranks over)

sounds weird, Kasey.....perhaps its only the plugs that are shot......get standard ones, and see how that goes.....can't think of anything else it could be.... :(..if it is the cas...do up the bolt/nut on the front of the harmonic balancer, and puor icy cold water over it...that coools the cas down....it might go then....you need a harmonic balancer puller to get the h.balancer off...sometines though, if you just loosen the nut, and belt it with a nylon mallet, it might come off.....then loosen the nut a bit more...etc etc....

So theres spark. Wheres the fuel then? It's dual fuel right? How do you switch between them? Does one work and the other not etc. Injectors? Fuel pump fuse back in?
