V8 wont start, Please Help.
« on: February 01, 2009, 19:13:58 »
Firstly i notice when i had the ignition on the rev counter needle would flick from one side to the other and the got lack of power, so i changed the leads  over for some performance silicone ones and now it doesn't start. I then changed the leads back to the original ones and it still doesn't start. I have had the lead from the coil to the head of the engine to check out for a spark and guess what, No Spark. I have changed the coil as i thought the coil had gone down but still no spark. any idea's???? It has a range rover 3.5 v8 engine if it makes any difference. Hope someone can helps, Cheers
