   right people basically ive had trouble with the kill switch in the past because im not using the car at the moment and its got a dead battery, but I usually just use my power pack press the the red kill switch and all is fine again but now its just not starting.
   
   Its definitely fuel not getting to the engine for what ever reason because ive tried it on that stuff that you spray through your air intake and it started straight up.
   
   So all I can think of is.... dodgy kill switch or dodgy fuel pump.
   
   Any suggestions or advise would be great cheers.

   *Have you got petrol in it?
   
   *Check any fuses for blows
   
   *Whack another battery in it and check for a spark, take the coil pack off and just 1 plug out, put the plug that you have taken out into the coil pack and earth that plug against the engine. Get someone to turn the car over (only needs to be once) you should see a strong blue spark from the plug, Check all 4 plugs.
   
   *Get a voltmeter and check your loom to the fuel pump to make sure nothings faulty.
   
   *Get in the car turn the key two clicks only and see if you can hear the fuel pump prime, should be a quick buzzing noise.
   
   *If none of above try changing your fuel pump as it might be nackered.
