Engine turning over but car won't start

[Damian]

Hello

Drove the car yesterday no problems. Went to start it this morning and the engine is turning over but it won't fire. It's not even getting close to firing, no spluttering or anything.

The cabin seemed to fill with engine fumes as well as I was turning the car over.

There's fuel in it.

Any ideas please? Thanks

Heavy rain?
Pull the spark plug leads and check for water. Try and use a cloth if there is to dry it, don't undo the plug as the water will enter the head.

Update!

The car started about an hour later with quite a bit of hesitation but then under load, so heavy acceleration, it stuttered and was juddery before picking up.

Same again this morning. Car didn't start. Car started this evening but again after much hesitation.

If there was moisture at the plugs then I would imagine some plugs would attempt to fire. The car wasn't even attempting it was just turning over.

Any ideas folks?

Thanks

Have you checked the dizzy cap and arm?

What would I be checking for?

Only changed them both about a year ago..

Have you tried spraying the outside of the cap with WD
