LoL..

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)

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.

take the plugs out and clean them and put them back in again, and try starting her again. Plugs could be so coated in shit that they cant get clear.

im have had that prob in the past and also having it now with running my det motor in, as i have bigger injectors in and they naturally over fuel and as i cant rev over 4000 i can get them to clear when they foul up so have to take them out and clean and refit and it runs sound
