Mk1 engine problem.

[Liam:]

SORRY PLEASE DELETE

I am having a slight problem with my mk1 as it keeps cutting out and not starting. Tonight I drove it to the petrol station after filling up it wouldn't start, not the battery as I have just change it. I pushed out the way and then about 3 or so minutes later it started.
It then stalled on the road but started itself back up, but 2 seconds later stalled, this was going up a slight hill in a gear a bit high. So again I had to push it, it then started a while later.

I have done a search and I have a feeling it maybe the spark plugs, but how can I test this? Could it be fuel not getting to the engine? Fuel pump? How do I test this?

Any help appreciated, cheers.

Problems like theses are hard to find out.

It's best to test it when its not working. So one of the times it wont start see what's wrong. it's either going be not getting a spark or not getting its fuel.

check all connections to the battery first, and any earths. they are prone to bad connections.

u should hear the pump prime when u turn the ignition on
