What exactly is it doing? Cranking, not cranking? Sputtering etc. Is it a diesel by chance? Have you checked to see if you are getting spark and fuel. Put a gauge on your fuel rail (a bike tire gauge should work) and see what kind of pressure it is registering. Mine registers at about 15psi.

It is on the passenger side of the plenum intake. You may also want to check the spark and then maybe even the crank sensor if there is no spark but fuel. Once you know you have fuel then pull a plug and see if you can get it to arc. If not then the crank sensor is down on the drivers side towars the bottom of the bell housing. Oh, and maybe check the fuel pump fuse to see if it blown.

I had a lot of trouble with mine a while back and mistakenly accused the LPG system. Anyway, it turned out the Mass Air Flow thingy had thrown a fixing and was letting in air. A half-inch stainless screw now holds it perfectly in place.

Give it a wiggle and make sure it's secure.

Cheers,
