Ford Scorpio 2ltr

[shylock73]

I have a problem, it won`t start. The battery turns over the engine ok and it`s got petrol (half tank full) . I`ve changed a relay as it was making a buzzing noise (cost me �27.93) but still wont fire-up, so that can go back. Any ideas guy`s?

did you check for a spark ?

[shylock73]

Yes, there was a spark.

[BlackThunder]

if you have a spark and fuel and the timing is set to the correct setting.
check that your battery and all the power leads are pinched up tight. ive known engines not fire because of loose battery terminals.

Have found the problem, its the fuel or the fuse-box modules, Having to take it to a garage on Monday to get it put on their computer. `Sconner` cost a mint to put right, but it`s a good old motor and soo nice to drive.
