    Default 5ltr VT Commodore wont start?...

    I've been having a few issues with my voltage regulator,the tell tail sign of the ABS light coming on gave it away. Anyways today I swapped the voltage regulator over, started the car fine and thought to myself "jeez she is running rough". The car stalls after about 30 seconds, of course I forgot to put two of the spark plug leads back on before I started the car.

    So the car had stalled, and now it wont frigging start it cranks over but gives me nothing!!!
    Whats wrong with it, and how do I fix it?

    Any help would be fantastic, thanks in advance guys!

    Hey mate,

    I did actually, it turned out to be a stuffed coil; leaving the leads off put extra stress on the coil causing it to shit itself... The car has been fixed for a fair while now, but I am not far off embarking on an engine build, during which relocating the coil pack will take place. Their location on the 5ltr makes them prone to failing.
