Is there a spark at the spark plug?

Was it running fine yesterday?

Does it have an immobiliser?

I haven't checked plugs yet but even if one has gone wouldn't it still fire off the other three . I can't see them all just going over night ?
And no it was starting crappy as if there wasn't enough revs there .
And there is no immobilizer either .
It started yesterday and then cut out and now it just will not fire .
Cheers

MAF sensor, check the ecu for faults then reset it.
Look up "jollygreenmonster" for how to do the above.

Very true, did it show any faults?

you can also reset the ecu by disconecting the battery and leave it overnight.
