What would be causing starter motor to not even spin.have checked battery is charged, fuses replaced, wires are connected properly to starter have even tried using a different starter motor.any help would be appreciated.

1) battery earth connected to body/block?, 2) do you get dash lights or headlights?, 3) fuseable link blown? Since you have swapped out two starters, unlikely its the starter I would say. 4) worn ignition switch? Stabbing in the dark a bit. 5) re-check cable integrity from battery to starter.

Thank you, will check cable integrity tomorrow. Have got earth from battery,body,block. And have all dash lights and headlights it just won’t crank over, even turned motor over by hand to make sure wasn’t locked up

Do you have fuel at the injectors? Squirt a bit of Start Ya Bastard into the Inlet Manifold (Only a few seconds worth of the spray, as you don't want a huge backfire.) If the engine runs for only a few seconds and stops, then fuel is the problem.

Have fuel at injectors and sprayed some start ya bastard down it’s throat but still no luck seems to have spark so I’m all out of ideas

If you have a good, strong spark, it will be a timing issue. Re-check all of the leads are in sequence and that the timing isn't retarded or advanced.

Not sure if the Petrol Trols have a vacuumy thingo on the end of the fuel rail same as our paddock D20 Navara ute? Either way it has finally/instantly stopped dead after many years of faithful work and I too have blue spark & full fuel pressure to the rail [emoji2959]
Going to float it down to a petroleum mechanic next week as I’m out of ideas too!
Can only assume it’s the vac system and or bloody aftermarket LPG electrical bullshart [emoji107][emoji107]
