No "cut" wires??
Coulda had a frayed wire or something and the spark was it shorting out and burning out the wire?? |

f**k
s**t won't even turn belts over anymore. just makes a loud click, thats it. not battery, tried the one from the 'goon. lights dim when trying to start though. self test - comes up with 777 & 778 - my fans aren't working  which i know, as they're not connected. has no faults stored in its memory either.
so, back to square -1!

had an issue with the car - went to start it up, and got a lovely blue spark on/near the intake manifold/fuel rail, where the leads were coming through from the coil - coil/leads/plugs are all brand spankers - and now the car will turn over, put a few pops through the exhaust, but won't start - guessing leads and/or a fuse somewhere? cheers! When you went to start the car, you had the bonnet up ..right ? Had you just finished working on it..fitting the new leads or w/e ? I'd be checking leads are in the correct firing order . Also check the leads from the starter motor for shorting out. |

bonnet was off, earth lead is fine (checked) hasn't started since blue spark, leads are def in correct order (checked 4 times
 ) have tried swapping battery, will try ECU and check - it better not be that, its an EF XR6 one

Double check all leads to/from battery and starter motor. Flash could have been from the accelorator cable acting as an earth. Run a jumper lead from the chassis to the negative battery terminal. Check all fuses and circuit breakers. |

Think that's about it. Interior light working ok ? |

yep, although dims quite a bit when trying to start the car - have swapped battery, but is not the cause - light still dims
