After a fiasco involving me stripping the spark plug and snapping a coil its all now back together but now it cranks but no spark. could something have fried? (I did disconnect the battery). It's taken me a month to get the car in one piece (travelling) and now it still won't work. Any help would be appreciated.:bang:

Its the VZ by the way

how do you know its got no spark?, are you assuming, or have you tested it, each coil runs seperate, so it should fire some

sorry for the premature diagnosis. I really haven't checked for spark. What would be the best way?

yeah went and done that, all seems well. will check again under daylight. I gave it another run and it seems there is no fuel getting to the engine, i've cranked it for a while to no avail. Would sitting for a month drain all the fuel back to the tank and take ages to prime?

"i havre had the same issue once or twice, the deal with this is lack of fuel, the fuel pick up has no fuel in it, well the computer thinks that anyway and wont allow the engine to spark, i believe it may be something to do with air in the fuel lines. But a splash of fuel $15 or bout 10L will normally get the car to respond and spark, or shorting the relay will make it respond.. "

I copied this from another thread. Could the fact that the car is parked on a slope, (back lower) be stopping the fuel from taking up? there is about half a tank. the lock sign goes away. I got it to sputter a bit so fuel is my guess. Any input would be great.
