Tried to start it today after a week and it fired a few times, tried again and it fired a few times more, kept trying until I flooded it.
Went through the procedure of removing the plugs and EGI fuse, turned it over and watched all the fuel spray out, gave it 15 mins, did it twice more until nothing came out.  Cleaned the almost new plugs off and put them back in, turned it over once more with the EGI fuse still out, then put it back in and....  Now it wont even fire!  Not even once.
I used a fully charged battery and to be extra sure I connected jump leads to my other car so there was plenty of juice.  I have now given up after attempting about 12 starts and not even 1 sign of firing.

Any ideas anyone?

Hi Colin,
Thanks for that.
Took all 4 plugs out, (in 2 mins)!!!! Got the fuel out, heated the plugs on the cooker till they were boiling hot, put them in, reset the ECU and it started first time!!

PHEW....
