i got this car for free being a non starter, So i tried pulling it in gear and it would not start. Got the car in the garden connecteed up a fully charged battery and started pulling things of to see if it makes any diffrence. I took the top of the carb of(bit that runs to the air filter and the head???) and turned it over and it started!!! But it is spitting so much fuel out of the carb and if you give it a little rev it back fires though the carb and loads of smoke comes out of the carb! Just fuel going every where big puffs.

Is it somthing simple?

The car is a Fiat brava 1.4sx

Please help!
 
no nothing comes up at all. There is no air filter i removed it just bare carb. It puffs petrol then back fires though the carb and dies. then loads of smoke comes though the carb.

How can you tell if the timing belt has sliped? is that the cam belt?

Would the spark plugs make this happen?

I put my hand over the exhaust i could feel the air coming though.

just sounds like it is fireing so slow. then just goes bang :eek:

it has been sitting for 3years only done 38k
