Fuel not getting to my engine?

[JohnA88]

Hi all I have a 98 Saxo 1.1 and for some reason the fuel isn't getting to the engine as when I turned it over a few times I then took one of the plugs out and there's no fuel on it and no smell of it so what could be the problem?

Fuel cut off switch? Fuel pump? Fuel pump relay? Fuel pump fuse? Immobiliser?

[JohnA88]

The fuel pump is priming so prob not the pump wheres the cut off switch?

big red button top right of engine bay

Nope thats fine

Also when I turn it over the fuel gauge bounces up and down :/

Right decided I'm going to take the fuel line off and see if petrol is coming out and if so that means the injectors are fooked don't it? One prob though where is the fuel line and injectors as I can't see them lol sorry for the stupid question but this is my 1st time working on an engine :(

The fuel line should be on the drivers side you`ll see it coming into the injector rail.

i had this problem last year turn out to be the the rail was blocked so good clean reconnected it and it worked

where the top of your engine is you will see a long black plastic thing with a plug and a wire in the back, this is the coil pack and behind that is the fuel line and injector rail. the fuel line then goes to the top/back of the bay then goes right, behind the cut off switch
