Did it judder like it ran out of fuel?

Was like I was in 5th not 3rd

Nothing on ecu ether been scanned today

Could be cam sensor or crank sensor, but these would throw up a cel at least,

Start with the basics, fuel, spark and air. Make sure there's enough fuel in the car (sounds stupid I know). Check that you have a charge in the Battery, and pressure at the fuel rail and work from there really.

Ok I'll have a look Tomorrow.... What best way to test spark etc and is there a way for testing to see if timing is correct??

[stants]

I'd start with putting the back seats down and turning the key to the acc switch,that way you'll be able to hear the pump prime, (or not )

As for spark there are various diy testing methods on YouTube,

 Ive removed the pipe leaving the fuel filter n put the pipe into a bottle n cranked the engine to see if I had fuel..

I do have fuel lots of it but still no running scooby

Car had slipped on timing bending valves so I rebult engine using replacement heads etc and all new bolts n belts now back up n running
