So I've not used my car for a few months and decided to get it out for the weekend. It won't start, it's getting fuel but seemingly no spark. It was working fine when I put it away and nothing has changed.

Checked all wiring, used another coilpack, cleaned plugs..

Literally nothing has changed since I last used it.

Car is 1.3sr

Checked rotor arm and leads? Also I assume when you say coilpack you mean coil.?

First thing to ceck would be cap and rotor, go from there

Checked all associated parts to do with spark and still nothing. Cleaned everything up. Can't understand how it's gone from starting fine to not at all.

Yep, mine sometimes condensates and text time it will turn over but not fire - bit of a wipe inside the cap and away it goes....

Check the ignition module in the back of the distributor next then

Changed that for a brand new one so shouldn't be an issue I'd imagine. I'll go over everything again

Have you actually checked for power to the coil?

If you've checked everything you should have a fault to fix otherwise you haven't checked everything and there is still something you need to look at and fix/resolve

Yeah must be something I'm missing lol or it would start. I'll just go over everything again see what's what. Can't be much as like I said was fine before

Just double triple check everything
