Went out for a short drive this morning. When I got back I parked up the car and shut of the engine. A few minutes later when I should start her up I had difficulty getting her going, the engine started but misfired badly. It then cut out and refuses to start. I have a Petronix but there is a spark. Any ideas on where to start?
Thanks

Fuel pump running? Out of gas? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


I squirted starter fluid into the throttle and it fired and ran very irregularly. then it stopped. The fuel tubing feels like there is fuel under pressure and the fuel pump is running. I can smell gas

Whats the best way to check the fuel pressure, and do I have to pull the tank to get att the fuel filter? Any other ideas why it should suddenly die?

This car would test the patience of a saint (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
