Non starter help

[phey708]

Hi all,

I have recently bought a passoin red Mk1 GTO (1990) and I can't get it started. It has been stood for a while (about 6 months) and I have added a new battery and dumped the old fuel and put 5l of new fuel in.

The check engine light comes on then goes away when you put key in. It cranks fine but dosn't want to fire up. After I added new fuel in it did start for a second however but then it gave up the ghost again

Is there anything I can do to get it running again?

First step is to verify fuel and spark. You could even try a little starter fluid in the throttle body to see if it will fire to life.
