hey guys just having some issues with my b18cr eg, started it 2 datys ago in the morning, all fine then it stalled out of nowhere (whilst still warming up), then as i cranked it ova again it would not start, check the battery, it was fine, checked the fuel and that was all ok, so i was left puzzled.
so i pulled up my sleeves to figure out what the problem is and started my own personal diagnostics, fuel+air+spark and the motor should start on basic principals, like i said before the battery is fine was replaced with a century 21 ultra duty or someshiit.
the engine light is not on and all electronics were ok, everytime i tryed to start it, it would smell of petrol fumes, by the way fuel pump is working fine also checked that along the way, next thing that i was looking towards was the spark side of things, so i went and pulled out one of the engine leads and took out one sparkplug, when it came out it was soaked in petrol, so i thought maybe the fuel is going in but it is not getting a spark to ignite the fuel, so i changed the sparkies, and still the same issue, now next thing i thought may have caused this is the distributor to fail (no current running through the lead) thus not send the spark and flood the piston with fuel. so i purchased a second hand dizzy from a member on the forum which was on 3000kms since purchased, originaly bought from usa, so i installed the 'like new' dizzy and tryed to start it again and still nothing, after numerous trys to start the car with jumper leads, clutch starts still nothing, and now the battery is totally drained due to not getting its charge from the alternator as it should whilst the car is running, starter motor is working fine, it is turning over the motor but its just not starting, now im all out of clues, the battery is dead and the car will not start.
any ideas guys?
