    Default my vt wont start?????HELP

    It started 2 weeks ago my car would start but run really rough. It was like it was missing a beat, like one of the pistons were'nt firing. After 5-10 min it would run fine... if i tried to push the accelerator while driving or in neutral it would cough and splatter and would have no power this was before running it for 5-10 mins... as each day went it got worse and needed to be warmed up longer then it would run perfect.. now it wont start at all, it will kick over but wont run. if i push the accelerator it would cough and you hear thumping through the exaust pipe like its back firing has anyone had a this problem or similar????? just a note it seems to be same when i ran out of petrol once its like its getting no fuel... but that deosnt explane why it ran fine after it warmed up before....... please help........

    fuel pressure regulator or injectors maybe? Id say its a fuel issue, if its cured by heat then look for something that gets quiet warm.
    Listen to the injector pulses and see if they 'click' at the right times

    Check your spark plugs, and get your spark plug leads tested. If they are ok, check your ignition coil pack. It could be on its way out.

    ignition module or fuel pump,
    check for spark at all plugs,
    and a fuel pressure check,
    i had both go at the same time..

    he sorry to still ur thread but im pritty new to this and dont kno how do start my own

    hello,
    okay i was driving to the servo and i pulled up put fuel in it went to start it and
    nothing happened, tried to get a jump start and it cranked but wouldnt fire so we let it sit with the other car running to try charge the battery for a while then tried again but it still just cranked and would fire,.
    so i got it towed home and there it sat and still sits so far i'v replaced the c.a.s, fuel pump, spark plugs, ignition switch, bcm & ecu with key, alternator, coil pack, air flow meter, all the fuses are fine and swapped the relays over and still just crank over once and then stops with the key turned to on position and then the thermo fans kick in i really dont know whats wrong with it i really need to get it going as a need it to get to work
    please if anyone has any idea please help.
    thank you

    p.s where is the ignition coil located?

    If it only cranks over once then your battery is flat. Get a new one and go from there.
