Any Ideas?

Check your coil packs, the cable that connects to the coil pack was not firmly connected back when you changed your plugs.


Ask me how I know ;-)

Thanks for the suggestion Boxster. I just redid all those connections but still no joy. The starter is turning, I get a little bit of smoke out the rear and then nothing. It's as if there is no petrol in the car. I even put some gas into the car despite the fuel guage reading half, just in case the guage was gone faulty! LOL. I have checked fuel pump and fuel filter and they too are fine. Hmmmmmmm

Was the battery disconnected at any time?
You might need to reset your egas? Try these steps and see what happens:

Turn car off

Turn ignition on (Do not start) (DO NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL)

Wait about a minute (you'll hear the throttle motor run in the engine compartment)

Turn key off (remove key) wait for at least 30 seconds.

Start car and see if it's fixed.

While performing egas adaptation you should be able to hear throttle body motor (based on your previous post you can hear it). If you don’t, keep cycling the key until you hear the motor on the throttle body engage. I have read where this has taken a few turns of the key for some reason.
