My fiesta turbo has been off road for about 3months, today finally the rad got changed and all seemed OK but then when we tried to start car it turns over, seems like it wants to start but wont. theres no immobaliser to stop it, its running a T2 hybrid, straight throu magnex system, superchip. it was given a full engine rebuild in august. any ideas?

Any fuel in it?

yep, its half way between red and 1/4 of a tank. tried fuel cut off switch and also made sure superchip was in secure and no dust in it.
