So what happened exactly? You park the car after driving around with no problems then next time you try and start it...nothing?

Try and describe the symptoms a bit better. There are some very knowledgeable people here but you're going to have to give some more details if you want some help. Good luck.

i had one that would not start in it was the fuel pump relay but as you say its getting fuel it may not be that, is it attempting to start or not at all?

[e30_sam]

well it could be the relay as what ever fuel is left in the filter may be the fuel i think is getting to it it is basicaly that i drove it fine stoped it would start the burble and die the my mate pushed me bumper to bumper to try and bump start it but nothing then we cleaned the crank sensor but nothing then we tried it again and it started i got it home and when i tried to start it in the mornin i wouldn't start think we moved some wires when we pushed it
its like when it starts the pump works but it wont prime up when trying to start it

hi guys got it started but it wont idle now any clue wot this could be thanks

sounds to me like it could be a throttle position switch fault or maybe an air-mass meter fault.

If you hold the throttle open gently whilst starting it, will it start and then run? If so, check if it dies when the throttle is shut off
