I think it might be to do with the fact there was a lot of rain tonight while I was working , but don't know what it has affected

The car is turning over and trying to start but can't.

Spark plugs are soaked in petrol therefore no/weak spark ?

The exhaust pops a bit.

Is it possible that the distributor pack/leads etc have got damp , causing the above ??

Well on mine it was the spark plugs *I think* that was causing the problem .. Obviously it might not be the same problem
