Hi went to gt today to start it up let it run for bit,battery was flat but I jumped it with power pack, left it running but after about ten min it cut out I tried to start but only got a click off starter even with power pack, thinking starter was stuck I rocked car in gear engine now turns but won't start, took ht lead off dizzy checked for spark none there so any ideas? Coil packed in? Battery to flat ie starter taking to much power so not enough for coil, was running fine prior to this no idle probs missing etc, any help please, doug

Possibly battery too flat, maybe you've taken enough out of both power pack and battery that the combination now isn't strong enough.

Same thing was happening to me last week. Used jump leads but still not enough power. Charged battery up, and it started fine.
