ok did some proper tests today.

have chekced every fuel line and have found

Fuel is reaching the distributor, and continusly spraying whilst cranking.

however, the fuel dies not travel to the injectors. It wont pass through the distributor.

I have also put cery small amounts of fuel in the air intake and the car begines to rumble and start very quickly... so im guessing it must be the fuel distributor????

any ideas? sound common?
