help car wont start!!!

[lharrowing]

basically my friend has aquired a s reg vtr as a no runner. the car has not been used for a while and has been in the hands of someone who has no idea about cars but pretends he does. so ill start with my findings. it has had a new ignition barrel put in and fuel pump put in. when u turn the key to were the fuel pump usualy primes it doesnt even do anything and the car will just turn over. no fuel is getting through to the pipe which connects to the head theres no pressure bone dry. have tried inertia switch theres no suspect dash lights all the relays under passanger footwell are hanging out but u can here one activiating so guess thats working. dont know were to go next someone give me advice please!!!!:wall:

Has the car got an imboilser?

[lharrowing]

ye it has built in immobiliser in key

[leightonjay]

wire the fuel pump up to a switch. I did that on my RST when all else failed

[lharrowing]

would be nicer to actualy get it working. and im not sure how i want to have the pleasure of it haha

[lharrowing]

i cant relly get any info o the imobiliser and what it stops but i understandy the inertia switch cuts off fuel supply not sure bout immobiliser and what i can do please help!!!

[lharrowing]

bump :bump:

[lharrowing]

please guys i really need your help!!!!

[smearsvtr]

right first thing 2 do is see if u got a feed 2 fuel pump using either a multimeter or test light

[lharrowing]

yeah thats what im going to do tomoro take connector off and test should have afeed on second turn of ignition for few secs then should cut out? if i dont have a feed then what.

[ryanmt]

black relay near the ecu, check that first. Does the ecu light come on?

If its had a new key it will need the ecu unlocking or recoding

[saxo_girl_1985]

could be the fuel pump.

even if it is working as such, it may actually be the filter on the actual pump itself, blocked.

if u dont resolve the problem trying other things. u can buy a pump for 20quid second hand, just to rule it out.

i hope u sort it out ;)

[lharrowing]

u mean the one under ecu? ye was thinking of getting nother fuel pump will test for power first if theres no power im going to get so angry becuse there to many things it cud be

[ryanmt]

buying another fuel pump to test? why???? get your meter across the terminals on the pump.. if you dont see 12v its probably not busted, if you do.. take the pump out and try it direct onto the battery, if it doesnt pump its busted, if it does youve got a weak connection somewhere.

Again - is the ecu light on!

[lharrowing]

right i tested the connecot going to the fuel pump for power and got 5.5 volts so its getting a supply i elso boticed that on the ignition barrel two of the connectors are conected but the other one has had the connectors cut off its the one witht he brown wires dont know what its for. but i decided even though someone changed the fuel pump thats what the prob was so got another one and second turn it didnt prime turned engine over wooo it started. after maybe a min if that the other nit on the left with piped going to it started to leak everywere. why is this ?? if u move it it sort of releases pressure everywere and sprays fuel out. could it need replacing aswell?? i will upload a pic of it
