check for fuel then check for spark ..... will be one of those two causing the breakdown

some possible fixes

spark loss

crank angle sensor -- pour water over the unit when hot ..see if it starts up

a coil failure

check the leads and plugs


fuel loss
if you have no fuel at the injectors
fuel pump relay
fuel pump
fuel filter

if no better have to do more checks

idle control valve/ clean the throttle body/ a maf clean
Thanks mate!

Update on the issue:

1. Found water in the dizzy cap, clean this out and the rotor.
Afterwards it started fine still and got to running temp then started surging instead of stalling / not starting. Also has a miss when you try the throttle.

2. Changed oil and filter:
This caused it to get to running temp again and hold it for 15mins before it started surging with and still a miss.

I've got a new fuel filter which I'll change soon and retest, then I'll start going over the above suggestions, less my new symptoms spark any new thinking?
