Engine won\'t fire up

[dj_dee99]

My car is over at my mate\'s bodyshop. I dropped it at his house on Monday, he drove it over there on tuesday morning. Yesterday he started it up and moved it in his unit. And tonight, it refuses to start at all.
The petrol was low when I took it to his, but I took a can of VPower over tonight & we put that in. But that hasn\'t solved anything.

The engine is turning over without a problem, but just not firing. Looked at the plugs..... they look pretty knackered so I\'m going to get some new ones in the morning anyway, but they were completely dry. There was no smell of fuel at all from the continued attempts to start it up.

So, we\'re at a bit of a loss as to what has happened, as it was all running without problems till now.

Anyone have any idea what could be going on?

It\'s only flooded so do a search on the de-flood procedure, then fit new plugs but if it\'s badly flooded don\'t try to start it on the key just tow start it instead, make sure you keep it running for a good 20 mins to get rid of all the oil & fuel..........works every time for me!
Don\'t leave it sat too long as it is, you\'ll damage your water seals then it\'ll be a re-build as well.

I was thinking it could be flooded. But the plugs were completely dry an there was no smell of fuel at all, which made me think it would be something else.

Can you hear the fuel pump? i blew a 20a fuse in the drivers side fuse box. Engine turned over but wouldnt fire checked that fuse and replaced it, started first turn of the key after that.

Just checked the fuses. They\'re all o.k. Tried using the radio relay in place of the fuel pump one, but still no luck. There\'s no sound at all coming from the fuel pump when the ignition is on too
