Was it running ok last time you had it going ? have you tried towing it just to see if it will fire up ? is the starter ok, ie not lazy turning engine over.

welcome to cabbyland! i hate mine so much i love it! mines efi. il end up replacing everythin and with the money iv spent probably could turbo it. but it is a labour of love and there will always be something! enjoy. hope you get it sorted tho!

should be getting the cab back from the garage this week turned out the petrol tank was blocked causing the coil to over spark & burn out
