My CA18 did the same thing. I drove the car the hole December, left it for 2 days after that the car started but did the same you’re car is doing. I replaced sparkplugs but still the same, so I did a compression test and discovered there was no compression on pistons 3 and 4. After that I took out the motor and dropped in a RB25DET now I have no problems and leka power.

Fuel - Check
Spark - Check
Water on top of plugs - Check
Water in coil pack - Check

Think I've found the problem :D

Going to blow the water out with compressed air before removivg the plugs and out of the coils and think going to use a hair dryer for some heat to dry the plugs.

Water could have got in from the car parked outside the panel beaters for four months, cos the bonnert was damaged badly & just placed on top.
