As you'll have gathered by now i don't know too much about mechanics so another daft question - how do i check for a spark?
I remember reading something about it in the haynes manual - something like take the lead off the plug and hold it against the block and crank the engine??
The fuel pump primes when the ignition is switched on but i can't hear it making any noise when i turn the engine over. I thought if it primed that meant it worked?
