    Hi guys my car was sounding very ruff and would cut out unless the throttle was pushed, not it won't start at all!
    Iv new plugs here to try but any other ideas incase they don't work?
    Plenty if fuel, fuel pumps priming ect.. I did think maybe coil pack away. ?

    Cheers for any info

    One coilpack it would start ok but misfire , look at the plugs , see if they are wet , if so fuel is good.

    Check the igniter on the passenger side inner wing.

    If it's stock ECU I think there is a fault code procedure you can maybe read.

    Maybe flooded or running massively rich due to a failed sensor

    You looked on the sensor page in the ETC menu and see if it all looks good?

    make sure its set to the correct AFM etc.

    Are you still running a flowmeter? Clean that if you are, they cause some weird issues.

    Yeah thats the one. On a Crown I had it used to boost weird and idle strange, quick blast of carb cleaner, right as rain.
