So drove it twice already this morning and was fine then as I was going round a round about i put my foot on the gas to continue at the speed everyone was else going and then it went!
It just turns over but doesnt fire, yes there is petrol but as for spark i dont know. its a 12volt haha
anyone got any ideas? my mates dad works for the AA and hes going to have a look at it at some point but hes on call so its hard to get him down at a certain time.
crank sensor or coil pack? oh the car has been a bit jerky from time to time for no reason.
cheers guys

Sounds like crank sensor, my 12v started cutting out when it was warm, as soon as it cooled down a bit it would start.

moved the car from down the road to outside my house and it started but the engine management light came on for a bout 3 seconds then went off while the car was running.
