billyboanerges Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Help please for new to 7's guy I'm trying to help. All ready to go engine turns and usual electrics all ok BUT no fuel to cylinders and no spark! Could probs be linked? All fuses ok Fuel pump seems to make right noises but unable (yet) to remove fuel pipe in engine bay, button by battery pressed! Now at a loss without going back to the beginning. - Any ideas where to start? Thanks, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Does the fuel pump run for a few seconds as soon as ignition key is turned, if not is the immobiliser working correctly, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richy Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 How much fuel have you put in the tank? When I built mine I put 5 litres in and scratched my head for ages wondering why it wouldn't fire. Put another 5 litres in the tank and all was well!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative paul richards Posted June 3, 2011 Area Representative Share Posted June 3, 2011 Richy has good advice - make sure you have enough fuel in the tank - at least 10 litres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyR Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If you have both no fuel & no spark, check immobiliser has de-activated and power to ECU. Also check Crank sensor & connections. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyboanerges Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Many thanks, I'll pass on all your wise words. Connections checked , inertia switch pressed, 10 litres of fuel added - immobiliser being stubborn looks favourite - reset as per instructions ??

billyboanerges Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 All resolved 😬 Don's car fired up after he discovered one pin on ECU connector plug wasn't engaging with the pin on the ECU. All down to CW at Dartford. Brilliant! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
