Wiil not start. Where to begin> Thank
My car will not start. Cranks no problem (new battery) but it is like there is no petrol at all. (Yet I know it is almost full). And there is no smell of petrol. Could it be that I have no spark>
I don't even know where to start to try and fix this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Guessing it Could be your crank position sensor / CPS or fuel pump, either of those will prevent starting but will allow you to crank the engine provided battery not dead. Both happed to me on my c32/w203
Get an cheapie OBD scanner and if it’s the CPS it should throw a code for that. Part is under 100 bucks and 1 hour labor if u have a shop do it.
When my fuel pump went out it was because My wife continually drove the car with 1/4 or less fuel which is bad to do since the full tank of gas actually cools the pump a bit and prevents the electrode connectors from corroding. My indie guy cleaned up the connectors on the pump and been working fine 5 years later and I never drive it below 1/2 tank of fuel.
