The Fc won\'t start, so think flooded.

Did all the usual, plugs out, egi fuse out, cranked it over, cleaned the plugs and put it all back together.

Still no fire.

Took the plugs out again and they\'re dry. I would have thought that having turned it over for 20 seconds or so there should be fuel entering the chamber, making the plugs wet.

So I start thinking no fuel.
Out of habit I remove the egi fuse every night so I thought perhaps I\'ve bust it and replaced it with another fuse from a spare engine. Still no sign of firing.

I think it\'s unlikely that both fuese are faultly, although possible, so what to do next.

Strange this happened on the drive, didn\'t conk out while driving.

I hope it\'s totally unrelated but I was due to take the car to Craigs to try and source a small water leak I noticed under the car.

You checked your getting fuel to the engine?

i had similar problem. turned out to be the white plug with 4 pins that connects to the fuel tank. the ground of that "broke" but not sure why.
Was driving fine one day, then few hours later, wouldnt start.
Worth to see if fuel pump is working.
