Spark and fuel.. but no starting..

[Krys_23]

Very strange one for me, my car turned over and started fine twice , then i tried it two days later and it would not start, i took the fuel line off and there is fuel there, i took plugs out all four spark, i replaced the plugs and no difference, so i have a fuel and spark and the car will turn over, the battery has enough juice and she has new plugs, what else can it be down to? Crank sensor is obviously working by the time the plugs are sparking ? Cheers.

When you undo the clips holding the fuel lines how much fuel is in then? does it dribble out or shoot out?

To quickly figure out what the problem area is....

Disconnect the injectors and squirt easy start up the intake whilst cranking the engine....not too much as you can hydraulic the engine; short bursts are better that long sprays.

If your plugs are all working fine and the timing is all good the car will fire straight up while you feed it the easystart. If it doesn't run then you have potentially located the problem ie ignition/timing

....if it does run, you know for sure that the problem is fuel related.

I'd say it is fuel related by the time i have had it running not long ago started no problems at all and all of a sudden it just doesn't want to play ball, its at the garage now anyway so surely they will source the problem.
