Right guys, my car has been stood for 6 months, left it with under half a tank in as ran out of tax before i could go fill it up. Started fine the other week been driving around fine topped the fuel up with vpower... Today it was really low took my car out didnt start first time but started second time... Okay left it as was only moving it, i then decided ill go put some fuel in, doesnt start, then fires but sounds rough as nails! And cuts out and wont start. Go petrol station put 10 litres in a jerry wont start still, take plugs out clean them starts for a second sounds rough as nails again cuts out, then wont start again.

My presumptions are

if its fuel related it wont bump - ie fuel filter clogged

If its dizzy it will bump

So if it doesnt bump what are my options?
 
Did you leave half a tank in the car for 6 months before starting it??
Just i've been told petrol starts to dissolve away to water after 3 months or so.

Also i take it battery will have full charge yee?

Yeah thats right, but it still started after the 6 months and driven it twice since doing around 50 miles. The car is ticket over just igniting so its either fuel starvation or the dizzy as i have new leads and i cleaned the plugs.
 
Update - There’s fuel, spark, 230psi compression consistently across, sorted out my earth as they weren’t great, checked fuses, plugged laptop in to hondata checked for codes – no codes, took the dizzy off cleaned the cap up although it was clean some crap came off where it sparks. Still not starting…. I have new plugs on the way, already have new ht leads. And last port of call is going to be to replace the dizzy but im trying to get hold of another dizzy first….anymore suggestions? If timing was out surely the compression would be down?
