VR6 0 Posted March 10, 2007 HT lead(s)? Dodgy spark plug(s)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted March 10, 2007 As VR6 says it must be either the leads or plugs. Try pulling a plug out, turning it over and see if you have a spark.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chubbybrown 0 Posted March 11, 2007 Yeah I might know theres an ignition amplifier up by the ecu,it could be that. has the car been sitting? if so it could be this fella. Just borrow one and try it,you get them on audis etc It looks like a black wafer with a white metal back plate let me know how you get on Chubbz quick edit check your timing as youve done the belt!!

mattkh 0 Posted March 12, 2007 Hi Pull the fuel pump relay out and clean the contacts. Then push it back in. When you turn the ignition on you should hear the fuel pump prime. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corrado-chris 0 Posted March 13, 2007 Sounds like you ignition module the same happened to me, wouldnt start no spark and the fuel pump wouldnt work! Its under scuttle panel next the ecu! Hope this helps! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiTch 0 Posted March 15, 2007 check the battery earth lead , may only be a few strands holding it to the clamp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted March 15, 2007 The earths are pretty critical on the early valvers and you may well have disturbed one with the water pump work. As has been mentioned previously the fuel pump should run then stop once the system have been pressurised with the key in the run position and the engine off.
