It was driving fine one minute - the next it lost all power and had no acceleration. Now, it just wont start.
I have checked the MAF sensor and all seems good. I have checked the spark plugs, got a new distributor cap and rotor arm, checked the distributor bits and pieces - and again all seems good.
I've checked the fuel pump - and there's plenty of fuel. So I have air, fuel and a spark but still wont start.
Today I pulled a rocker cover off to just have a look at the rockers etc, while it was off and the fuel lines disconnected I turned it over - and it started. Obviously, didn't run for long 1) I had the rocker cover off and didn't want it to run for too long and 2) the fuel lines were off.
So, I got all excited and put it all back together - and now it wont start again. If I remove the fuel feed line, it will - but as soon as I connect the fuel back up it just turns over.
Has anyone come across this before or have any ideas where I should be looking as it has me stumped.
Please help
