HELP!! recently joined the dub group by buying myself a slammed polo its the 1.3 carb version.. Anyway after fitting new battery, plugs, leads, rotor arm, fuel pump relay still wont start just turns and turns but wont fire anyone??

 

Welcome to the forum.

Do you have fuel and a good spark?

If you take the spark plugs out are they wet with petrol?

If you push a spark in an HT lead and let the spark plug body rest on the engine to earth, it someone cranks the engine is there a spark at the plugs?

Thanks 4 the reply yes the plugs are getting wet and it has a VERY good spark this is why i am so confused.. Tryed it again today and it really wants to start but just wont go

 

Really need some help with this guys.. Could it be a compression issue?

 

Its almost firing its wants to go but just not coming to life

 

Because you've only just had this car so you don't know how it ran before it could be a compression problem, buy yourself a petrol compression tester and test them. It should be 7-15 Bar (100-215 lbs/in).
