    Default Urgent help needed! Vp 3.8ltr won't start

    It's duel fuel started and ran fine for last six months I've had it, but back fired today blow the air box out. Replaced the air box and it ran fine, then went to start it 3 short drives later and nothing just spin over, it's got spark but just doesn't sound like it wants to run.
    Any ideas i need it fixed cause i just sold the car!

    not sure but it's duel fuel so i thought it would at least run on gas if not petrol, but it doesn't run on either.

    Check the butterfly flap in the throttle body . When my old VN backfired it jammed it shut and wouldn't start.
