Ran out of fuel!!!

[garriock_1]

The other night i made the mistake of thinkin i had enough fuel to go on a short run in my evo 6. then it started spluttering and cut out! I got some fuel put in it and it spluttered to the pumps. Then when I went to leave the pumps it wouldnt start! it offerd to a few times but still no luck! If any one has any ideas on what it could be id be much appreciated!

When its turning over there is a smell of fuel from the exhaust.

would point to lack of spark then fella silly question but have you checked your cois plus your leads and clean your plugs or even change them??

as said you've probably just wet the plugs so give them a clean and try again or just give it a bump start as that will probably be enough to get it going again (don't bump start if you are still running a cat).

Don't bump start an evo, you'll knacker it.

It's flooded spark plugs, remove them and heat them up I put mine on a gas hob for a few minutes, replaced them and it started first time
