Hi all,Iv recently purchased a 1994 GR FTO,2litre v6 mannual.When starting it would rev out for a second or 2 and then drop back to an idle.Now it won't even start and Dosnt sound like it wants to.Motor turns over fine but it is not firing at all.Have checked fuel and pump is working.I see that the stepper motor has been taken on and off a couple of times,could this be the issue?Any help would be much appreciated.Cheers

Stepper or MAF sensor.

Check the error codes first. There's a DIY stickied in the help section

Checking your error codes would be the best first step. I'm throwing in the possibility of crank angle sensor

Not MAF, have them all the time at work with no start. Unplug and she's gravy
Although does depend I suppose.

So could be MAF sensor?After Ihave turned motor over there is a clicking sound that seems to be coming from the rear manifold area?I hadn't noticed this happening before car stopped working,any ideas if this could have something to do with problem?Cheers
