Ive got a clio 1.8 16v on a 92 plate and it wont fire up, what happens is that the car will turn over very healthy and fuel is getting where it belongs but no spark. So i changed the coil, plugs, leads, cap and rotor arm and cleaned up TDC sensor and cleaned up earths and the battery is nice and healthy too and still nothing.

any ideas people

Thanks everyone for suggestions but i got it fixed now. all i did was charged the battery up on a triccle charge for a night and unplugged my ECU and took it in my house to dry off any damp or anything causing my problem. Next morning plugged everything up and started her up and it fired up :D gonna take her out for a thrashing and fill her with petrol 8)

God damn it broke down again. the clio is doing the same again starter motor going and not firing. this time it cut out at a roundabout coming to a stop and the thing cut out and it wouldnt start again also before the car cut out the rev counter went all crazy :cry:

Anyone near newcastle wanna come have a look on what it might be will pay. :)
