Default Nooooooooooo! Car is buggered!!!!!!



dammit, not starting and I dont know whats wrong with it!

Check the spark, checked the fuel, turn it over, and it cranks ok. But when it fires I get this phuft noise and a little puff of smoke from behind the engine and it stops turning over. Think either the inlet manifold has hole in it or the gasket is gone. Either way wont start atm. So now I have to swap the manifolds with another one I have and change gasket.

Just hope thats the only problem.

But to be honest this is the only thing I can think thats wrong with it. Any other ideas would be appreciated.
