Car will not start?

[Steve Tinker]

A couple of random thoughts....

1) Enough fuel in the tank for the pump pickup - is the car at an angle?
2) Old fuel.
3) Can you hear the fuel pump pressure up when ignition first switched on?
4) Set the throttle body - disconnect battery, reconnect, ignition switch on (no start) for 1 minute, switch off for 10 seconds then attempt start.
5) Check ALL electrical connections that could have possibly been compromised when transmission / clutch removed.
6) If you have spark (as per Health Services) spray engine start down throttle body and see if there's fire in the hold.
7) Durametric ?? if no spark?

Careful if the gas is flowing and the spark is not. A friend and I set his car on fire when we successfully figured out how to get the spark. Had a great time putting it out before the garage burned down. It was brilliant.

Yes. Fresh tank, 4 months old now but smells fresh.

2) Old fuel.
See above. Don't think so.

Yes.

Have to try this, but never did it before when car was without battery.

5) Check ALL electrical connections that could have possibly been compromised when transmission / clutch removed.
Checked. All good. Went over it a few times.

6) If you have spark (as per Health Services) spray engine start down throttle body and see if there's fire in the hold.
Have to check spark next, but want to fix windows not dropping issue to make sure it's not related.

7) Durametric ?? if no spark?

Nope. Just a BT OBD reader.

Thanks. Early tomorrow more testing.
