Mines just sitting out on a random road in the village.

Well I will try the dizzy cap, then water temp sensor after that, Il be a tad bit lost. does it help that whilst driving it back I noticed the engine temp sensor was always in the lower quater? (meaning very cold)

Regards

Disconet the MAF and it thould start. Checke if the timeing is right and the ignition.

i can't see the water temp sensor making it run that bad, i had a fuel reg reading 65psi, that buggered it up within about 3 miles, also the afm can make it tickover good and missfire when reved or tickover shit and run good when reved.
