Went to start the car this morning and it wont start. Thought it might have been the starter motor so replaced that with a spare I had and still no luck.
Its turning over but not firing up. I have spark in all 4, and the fuel pump is priming when its being turned over so I guess that its got fuel aswell.
And ideas as to what it could be?

Dont think its a sensor because I have spark. Going to check the timing tomorrow.

What engine ?, if you have spark on all plugs then it has to be lack of fuel/ air or no compression I guess.

check you are getting fuel in the rail / injectors, do compression test, are injectors getting pulse from ecu, is fuel ok and not contaminated moisture ,immobilizer problem maybe, shine torch into pots to make sure not flooded, all I can think of at the moment.

Done a bit of reading about and is it true that when the ignition is tuned on the fuel pump should make a noise or when its being turned over? When I turn my ignition on it makes no noise...so im thinking relay, fuse or fuel pump itself.
