you might be able to tell whether it is fuel or coolant by smell and colour.

could be a blown intake manifold or head gasket.

[vtboy08]

its not the head gaskets theres no oil in the coolant?

Doesn't matter as it doesn't always flow both ways.

Best bet is to narrow down what it is on your plugs, then you can go from there.

[vtboy08]

its only petrol on the plug wat could cause that n how i fix? any ideas?

Its flooding.

Check that your getting spark from the leads, if not then its a possible dud coil pack.

If your gettin spark then it should be firing but wouldnt hurt to change your CAS

It's probably more the fact it isn't firing, if it is truly flooding, there could be a faulty injector.

As ozzie said, pull the plug, put an earth on the body, put the lead on and wind the engine over to look for spark.

[vtboy08]

yeah it is getting spark

[VT-565]

if it was only one cylinder out, it might still start. I'd say you have bigger issues.

Does the car start-up and idle?

[vtboy08]

will start n idle after a few big revs

[vtboy08]

once i get it going it drives n runs well

[vtboy08]

and thats after i take plug back out n clean it n put back in
