well my car is all together now but for sum funny reason it wont start it started the day i put it together so it will start "just" but since then no go. Its at a garage a the mo to c if they can get it goin but theyve had no luck either so far. Any ideas wat it could be, ive just bought a high energy coil to theyve fitted that, new plugs, fink the garage got a new dizzycap too. Its sparkin but when u turn it over its firing but wont start up? all the timin is spot on as the garage checked all that so y the feck aint it startin up, the garage a taken the plugs out and left the bores to dry out over nite cause they reckon as ive got 40's its flooded bad but i cant c tat bein the prob any ideas?????
p.s my car used to start up first crank

you've probably checked this, but make sure the earth strap is securley fastened to the car. A few of us fitted a new engine in my car and didn't tighten the earth strap. There was just enough power to turn the engine over, but after that there was no power. Once it was tightened all was fine. Other than that, I dunno mate, see what the garage say.
