it might be a earth wire that isn't connected. Does sound like an electrical problem. Make sure all the connectors are put back correctly after replacing the head. | |

i dont know how do i check it? the car is stil on the ramps sitting back at an angle with bout 5 - 10 pounds worth in it, could that be causing the fuel pump not to suck any out the tank? | |

1.4 sri 1993, nope there not wet or anything. thing is the car was running yesterday, but a valve was fucked so i had to replace the head, i have put everything back on same way i took it off, but it just wont start, the car is still up on the ramps, could this stop the fuel gettin through? | |

what do you mean, the end of the spark plugs, or where i plug the leads in to, thing is though, i tried putting my old spark plugs in and it did the same thing, its asif the fuel isnt igniting, or even any fuel getting through, how can i check there is a spark? because it could be my distributor, the car just turns over, doesnt make any attempt at starting | |

check the gaps on the spark plugs m8y they might be too small to spark or to wide to jump | |

well i have replaced my head and gaskets etc, bought some new spark plugs done an oil change etc, but when i went to start the car it wont start, it turns over and sounds ok, but wont even try to start even when i pump the accelerator i get nothing, is this my spark plugs that are failing? how do i check them? |
