Well vannie folks, it was the coil. had a spare one, just thinking that
if i couldn't smell fuel, it had to be something that wasn't triggering
the injectors. pluged in a spare coil and, hell, it never started so
fast.

THANKS for all your thoughts.

Kindest regards,
dan

oh, and the wife said 'ok we'll not make a septic tank out of it....just
yet'
