started ok the day before but now it wont start.
it's got fuel, the pump primes and the injectors are working and has good spark at the plugs.
new battery fitted and shows no faults on pp2000. ecu is unlocked.
changed the cam sensor, checked the wiring.
it does stink of fuel when trying to start it though

any ideas?

Not being funny you say you have spark and fuel and I would think must be air so the only other thing is compression which doesn't disappear over night. Are you sure there is spark? Does it even try to fire? Mine did this in the space of just a few hours and had fuel but no spark. If you cranked it long enough it would massively backfire. Turned out to be crank sensor had given up after 16 years lol.

If you have spark and fuel and air I'd check the cam belt hasn't jumped or snapped as the only other reason for not firing would be compression or valve timing as injection and ignition timing are ecu controlled.

I'm thinking intermittent crank sensor as it fires but won't run.


Update: Bosch plugs = crap
New NGK's and it starts immediately.

Possibly. I got a new one.made by bougicord for £12 from gsf when mine went. Can you see the RPM on pug planet when cranking or does it just read 0?
