right, as the title says i have at this moment a completely non starting valver on my drive, let me tell you the exciting story of my afternoon.
first off i was parked in the petrol station with almost no fuel waiting for the mrs to get some shopping. i was going to fill up then but decided to take her home first. Anywho, i start the car fine, but the revs start to drop, untill finally the engine stops.
i try starting again a few times, being less and less successful each time until finally the engine is only turning over and not firing at all. i assume its out of fuel so i push it to the pump (embarasing!) and fill it up. still nothing, boo.
cut to later and the cars towed home. i take a plug out and see theres no spark! i have a quick bash with the old multi meter and see that the ignition seems to be working. i also try jumpstarting, to no effect.
so thats where i'm at, any ideas?
p.s very sorry about spelling, but i'm thick.
