Did you take the leads off and did you put them back on in the correct order?

What exactly did you do between when it was running and now.

[Jonno]

dunno if vr's have exhaust sensors but are they connected?

intake pipeing connected?

firing order right?

[bennbeck]

sensors are connected, and leads are on, will check firing order in the morn. i had to put new cat on, and thought i would do rear main, as it was leaking oil , and full oil, and tranny oil change while there...

[bennbeck]

everything is connected correctly just wont kick over, would kill the batt if i just keep trying

Has it got fuel in it?

[bennbeck]

half tank , just baffled atm....

[PanthaVS]

are you getting fuel? (do you hear the fuel pump turn on momentarily (Humming) when you turn the key from acc. to ON... but not "start")
if so, when you crank it, are you getting spark? (you can test this... use the search button)

if you answered yes and yes... then im stumped.... :P

Do an error code check to see if anything comes up. I would hazzard a guess and say the CAS has died. Probably just a coincedence.

[bennbeck]

did a check for fault codes, o2 sensor code came up. would that stop the car from kicking over.

hey mate that shouldnt stop the car from starting if the o2 sensor is screwed than it will run a bit rough and use more fuel
