Right,

My car has been off the road for quite a few years now. I have put new petrol in and it has started in the last few months but running really rough.

I have now gone to start it to move it to my garage and the car will not start at all.

Its a C20XE, I have no dash lights staying on and I have not flashed the codes tho. I still get fuel pump buzz on cranking and it tries but no luck.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

what is your battery voltage during cranking?

Is it sparking?

I seem to be getting good ish levels through cranking and I tried a jump start. I get some form of trying to start so I think it is getting spark. I will check again later in the week and report back.. thanks guys.

check for spark at all plugs, replace plugs or leads if required.
crank over ith plugs removed incase of flooding.
check injector connections for corrosion.

I was wondering if I could have blocked injectors too

doubt it, they wouldnt suddenly just block if its been running before and then just sat, unless your tank went rotten and you're not running a filter.
