Here's a few helpful tips to help us help you when it comes to helping you with problems....
1. Use English as it's supposed to be used, no text type. Poor spelling is ok(ish) as that can be a slip on the keyboard
2. Use sentances and paragraphs. If you don't know what they are, do a search on the interwebs. The one thing that stops me reading a post is when it's one big block of text.
Break it up with blank lines as it makes it easier to read.
3. Include as much information as possible eg.
a. Have you just re-fitted the engine
b. List everything you have done since it was last running well.
c. What is the exact fault, give as much information as possible, we're not mind readers.
Even if you do all that i might still take the piss. If you don't like that then go moan to your Momma (who i've probibly already had) 8)
Here is an example of what i mean, don't think i'm picking on you (see previous comment if you do)...

The guy later tells us that he's just fitted the engine, maybe he thought "i went for the first start" meant that we're suppoosed to know he's just fitted it, who knows. He gives us a reasonable account of what he's tried but if he had taken time to actually think it through instead of the 15 seconds he took then that would help us more.
