Cheers for the advice guys.
I didn't have time this evening to take the rail out but I did take out one of the plugs (which are brand new) and the tip def smelt of petrol. I know thats a pretty primitive test though. I also tried a spare coil just incase and put on the new TDC sensor. Besides the very occasion misfire there's still nothing. It still seems like the timing is off.
I did try replacing the relay for the ecu with an old relay (I think - middle in the back row?) but didn't have my hanes with me so didn't know what the other ones were. I might try picking up a few relays tomorrow.
Assuming though it's getting spark and fuel to the spark and the relays are good is there ANYTHING else people could recommend. I'm worried I get there tomorrow, change the relays and still nothing and i push the car off a cliff!
If it's any help (prob should have said this first) the last time the car was running it was idling after being bump started and drivin for 15 minutes. It was idling for a about ten minutes and just cut out with a hissing sound. Just cut straight out. That was the start of it all.
I want my 5 back
guess I better buy a raffle ticket and hope for a miracle.
