Here's a video of how I found the fault with my ECU, to discover why my engine was not running, there's some information that may help any novice home mechanic. After replacing my air flow meter, distributor cap, rotor button, coil ignition lead, and discovering a good supply of fuel, I worked out it was most likely to be the ECU (Engine Control Unit).

Thanks for posting your video and sharing your experience. It is a relevant car issue which will definitely help someone facing this same problem. I also agree with DogWalkingTall. You should shouted "hurrah" or something to show great happiness that your car finally fired up.
