Not Starting

[bombhead88 0]

Hi all,

Just renewed the radiator in my 1.9. Filled it with coolant and everything and ive come to start but cant get it running.

The engine turns over and everything, but it just wont start. Ive not touched anything besides the radiator, hoses & header tank.

Was running fine earlier this morning. Any ideas?

Have you checked you've not pulled out a connector by accident? Got coolant in the electrics?

 

Is it turning over?(duh) Are you getting a spark?

Just double checked everything, ive definately not accidentaly caught any connections or anything.

I was getting spark first couple of times of trying, now im not

Work backwards from there then...pull the dizzy cap off and check its not got damp in it where you've been slinging coolant around, then check you are getting a spark at the king lead, then check the ignition coil connections are seated properly. My bet is its just got some water in the dizzy cap
