just bought a car off my mate and car has been brilliant for 3 years for him, when left gets damp on spark plugs and doesnt want to start, he left for 2 weeks this haapend, i picked it up got it started again firing on 3 because a ht lead was broken so boguht some new ht leads and spark plugs and it just refuses to start suggestions???

[staggy_gsi]

sounds daft but are you sure the leads are on in the correct order? and what condition is the distributor in?

[P Whack]

yeah leads are on the same way never actually took them off until just changed them and only swapped one at a time distributor looks fine

[vxr_racing_2008]

I had the same problem with mine after I changed the spark plugs & ht leads. Turned out to be faulty ht leads from halfords. Have u also changed the rotor arm? Correct plug gaps? Timing?

how far did you drive it running on three?
could have burnt a valve out. will it crank over but not start?
