i'd start with checking the easiest - fuel and vacuum lines
then the battery voltage
then the plugs - they tell you everything

Hopefully its not the black box, its notorious to go bad.

Luckily I can get a brand new black box here for approx US$280.

well i remembered that i had added a little metho to the tank to absorb any water that may be in there. took off the airbox lid and sprayed some aerostart in...took ages and more aero start but finnally got it going. started fine this morning (7 degrees). and was fine on the way to work if running a little rough.
