Does it try to fire and run, or does it just turn over withotu attempting to fire?

Check for a spark
and check fuel is getting to the inlet manifold.

surely your brain should tell you "hold on a second my cars popping and chugging, that means somethings wrong with it and i should stop driving it and get it repaired" :roll:

chuggin n poppin! sounds like a band from the early ninetys!

anyway, if it chugs and sputters then either the fuels not burning (no spark) or there is no fuel to burn or the fuels contaminated.

so, take youre plugs out one by one and check for a spark. if theres no sparks and your plugs are fouled, clean them and try again. if theres still no spark check your dizzy, rotor blade, leads etc etc...

if the sparks fine check your fuel. have you got any?, is there no stink of petrol when you pull the plugs out?, can you hear your fuel pump? test and measure the fuel from each injector.

check you coolant and oil levels, if you headgaskits foooked then the fuel will get contaminated and wont burn hence the chuggin and poppin!
