hi people, bit of a stupid question! i recently jacked the front end of my nova up and put it on axle stands so i could remove the wheels to bleed the brakes. before i done this the car was runing sweet and afterwards it wouldnt even start. all the plugs and leads r fine and they are sparking but it wont start. any ideas? help will be greatley appriciated.:)

Is it still on stands? I did that to my car and it wouldnt start because all the fuel (wasnt very much) was at the far side of the tank.

no its off the stands and there is half a tank of fuel! its doin my head in!!!!! could i have damaged a fuel line?

Is it turning over? If its not maybe the starter took a knock, if it is turning over pull the fuel line off and make sure its pumping, check starter circuit wiring, its allways something simple.

You'll know if you have because there will be fuel pissing everywhere, unless you've managed to kink it, but that should be visible lol If it is turning over, remove a plug after a few cranks and smell it to see if its getting fuel.

You could also try and poke the centre of the schreider valve on the fuel rail (stand to one side of it) and see if fuel shoots out then you've got preasure at the fuel rail hope this helps:)
