Q: Engine won't start.
My Nissan micra 1.3 1996 won't start up. The ignition turns on and it is ticking over but it won't get going. The battery is fully charged, I've tried holding down the accelerator and turning on due to positive flooding but still won't start. Any ideas, could it be the spark plugs?
My car has 110000 miles.
