You will have to check out further and see if it is fuel related or spark / ignition fault .For instance could be fuel pump .

Possibly float sticking in carb.try tapping the side of it .

Could be wrong , but is that car not a multi point fuel injection?

if engine light on dash flashing/key through car light on dash flashing when ignition on or when cranking that would be immobiliser fault...if not... the ignition coil on bulk head(near coolant resivoir)it has a ignition module as one unit, very common fault Even if there is a ok spark at plugs, the coil module has often been the fault. cost bout £45. hope this helps
