i have just tried to start my car for the 1st time in 5 months. only to find that it wont start. i have checked the spark plugs and found a oily petrol type liquid at the bottom. i have also put the timing light on the leads and found that 1 and 2 wont spark while in the head but will when out.. help me please before i put the whole lot on ebay!!!!!!
If it's 5 month old fuel it won't like it, so new fuel reccommended, so would suggest taking plugs out and if you've got a blow torch
heat them up to clean them, drain old fuel then with plugs out spin it over in short bursts to blow the old juice out, put the cleaned plugs back in
hopefully it should start.

Swap that pair of plugs over and see if the problem follows.. might help rule out weather its the plugs, HT leads or coil etc at fault.
sorted thx for your help
