are your injectors "clicking" if not it could be a relay or fuse

brokebloke1, Jan 17, 4:28pm
12 is normal for what on the error codes!
have you tested relays with a muiltmeter!

At a guess id say its more a transponder key/anti-theft issue.

id dissconect the return fuel valve from the rail and see if theres fuel comming out. If there is then refit the valve and check if theres fuel comming through the valve.

dent, Jan 17, 5:29pm
are the injectors being activated by the ecu and is fuel getting to the rail!

dent, Jan 17, 5:43pm
if you crank it with the supply fuel line off the rail dose fuel poor out!

Put fuel in the tank

dent, Jan 17, 5:49pm
I have seen issues with the return valve where it would only run for 15 seconds then run rough then stall.

dent, Jan 17, 6:06pm
sounds like its trying to flow and pushing the air out.
Have you tried starting it with the "start ya bastard" yet.

Did you fit a brand new fuel pump or a second hand new to the car fuel pump!
Is the pump/sender refitted correctly! I mean back in the swirl bowl!

While your waiting for her to get back, clean your plugs.

treachug, Jan 17, 6:19pm
Checked spark! Maybe the module beneath the coils has died.
At the plug going into the module, undo the small bolt holding plug in, unplug plug & check around the terminals. Is there green snot type stuff ooozing out!

Might have to give the car a rest & "ride" the missus tonight lol.

sounds like immobilizer stopping the fuel injection pulse. and yes they still crank with immobilizer faults. open the passenger door remove plastic cover turn alarm off or if its not there open glovebox insert key and turn it off. and see if it starts

icemans1, Jan 17, 8:20pm
doh!

dent, Jan 17, 8:23pm
glad ya got it sorted.

candy1213, Jan 17, 10:19pm
was going to say did yar put fuel in after doing the pump!
as tank needs to be drained or very low in gas!

well its going to clean the brushes on the startermotor for you then
all that cranking!
might pay to charge the battery too
