If it's a manual gear box, you can try to pull it with another car (just to check if the engine will run and most important, how it runs...) If it's an automatic.... this won't help any further. So, it gets fuel (I presume... did you check this for real? Can you hear the fuel electric engine running...???) it gets spark and it "turns" right..... let me think what more do we need.... Ah !! Air/oxygen. Without it nog revs ;-) Please do check all hoses for air leaks etc. If air volumetric meter does not detect flow of air, it cat give a bad signal. (you can notice after unscrewing a spark and smell on it. If it smels like fuel very hard and is wet, you probably are getting a wrong mixture) So check all air hoses. Another possible solution might be the following. In order te start the engine (in cold situation) there is a small nozzle that sprays some fuel in you inlet (sorry, I don't know the English word for it) This small amount of fuel helps to start the car. By the way, once if you get you car running by pulling it with another one, let it run for about 10 minutes (so the engine gets warm) If you try again, and it start without problems, let ik cool down. (at least a few hours of wait till next day or so) and try to start again. If it fails you better check the small nozzle or other things that are influenced by the "cold start" system. Before I forget, if you have a friend with the same car, try to use spark cables from that other car (just for testing purposes). If you do this, please keep in mind the correct numbers.
