Sorry mate must have missed your other thread. Happened to me a couple of weeks ago. All the electricals worked but the car wouldn’t start. In the end I hooked up the jumper leads to my dads car, started up dads car, ran it for a bit and then started up mine - at the same time pressing the accelerator pedal about 1/4 of the way down.

do you get the little click of the main relay if you just turn ignition to accessories?

hrmms not a battery problem bro, main relay is jumping everything works! problem indentified as a fuel problem as suspected.. nrma came to look at it, they said something about a fuel pump or something or other..

yeah it clicks it turns over but that was it? on the first maybe 2 goes if ive left it for an hour it starts for maybe .2 of a second then dies? im pretty sure its a fuel problem? nrma guy said it was too.. anybody know a good reputable mechanic that does not overcharge to fix this problem? as well as probably a full service?

have you tried spraying some aerostart inside your TB? nit much though. That should start it up for a whee bit. It will stall pretty soon as it burns that, but if it starts than you def got a fuel problem

And if it doesn't check for spark, but you said you got a new dizzy so.....

i had a similar problem to you
engine kept flooding and had to call out nrma to start it for me twice

took it to hanny's, they sorted it out in less than 30mins
turned out to be a problem with one of the sensors
