Had the cossie out today, nice run upto Enhanced Performance (thanks for good day guys) for their rolling road day.
Drove and run fine, got home, turned engine off and went indoors.
Came out a bit later, went to put car in garage, wont start.
Turns over, but wont seem to fire up.
Fuel pump doesnt seem to work, tested for power, none.
Tested for spark (plug one out, put in spare plug, then onto rocker) doesnt seem to spark.
I am not the best mechanic around so after advice please if anyone can help
Thanks in advance.

Crank sensor. What condition is it in? Is the wire all broken where it goes into the crank sensor?

Thats what i was thinking common fault.

The fuel pump should prime when ignition is turned on ,( you should see 12V+ at the black and red wire in the boot)> + amal valve should click once when you turn the key ignition on

Almost certain its the fuel pump relay, as i have just fixed my 3dr with the same problem, yesterday

Unplug the ecu and plug back in,you can also unplug the plugs to the dizzy and plug back in too just to check you havnt got dodgy connection and that will reset it..

Hi Danny,
thanks for the info.
Went out to garage to try to start car.
Connected battery and it started....nice easy fix lol
Someone suggested alarm immobiliser was hot (he guessed clifford too) tapping it can fix too.
Will remember to unplug ecu tho as a good idea, many thanks

Good to meet you at the rolling road on saturday, good luck with the escort.
Got to up the power on mine at some point.
