hello gents. i have a 90 coupe 10v ng code. i am having problems starting the car.
it is turning over but won t start. can anyboby tell me what to check i was thinking
fuel pump? but when i try to start the car there is a strong smell of fuel. you could normally hear the pump kick in . but not now any advice?

also check you've got a spark, I had a 10v a while ago that just stopped one day, the dizzy had packed up, once swapped was fine.

Can you hear the fuel pump priming at all?

If you only get one spark per revolution on cyl 1 then it could well be the hall sensor or dizzy gear, pull the cap off the dizzy and make sure its going round .

Assuming your spark is OK.
Try removing the aircleaner and feel if the airflow plate is rising when the car is started. Could be your deceleration valve or idle stabilization valve that is letting air bypass the airflow plate.
You can push the plate up a little and this will supply some fuel.
