hello again you online book of geniuses lol, rite after changing the engine on my mrs freelander 1800 petrol k series engine, it was running absolutly fine untill yesterday... she was on her way home from shopping and said felt like the tyre was flat and felt like it was pulling back???? so she pulled over switched it off and checked the tyres lol, then it failed to start??? i went and had a look i quickly checked for sparks and it has a intermitten? spark and very weak at that that, also noticed a fuel leak on the inlet pipe. we got it home and i replaced the rotor arm and checked all plugs and it still wont start, i unpluged the brown temp sensor on the front of engine and it was better but not idling, where is the inertia?/fuel cut off switch? and i am thinking the crank shaft/cam shaft sensor to be at fault? or coil pack lol. anyone with a similar prob that could shed some light before i burn it would be great cheers peeps...

whats the centre contact like in the dizzy cap?

Turn it over in the dark and look for sparks from leads and coil.

Is your fuel line in properly and all hoses snug
