Have you checked for a spark from the coil? Bad conections at the dizzy can also mess this up of course - or the coil connections themselves obviously. Also check the crank pully sensor wires maybe? (These lose their magnetism over time I've been told - a mate of mine had his simply die on him as the magnet get weakers over the years).

Are you sure there is fuel? Checked at the regulator?

Good luck mate

The cps does not lose it's magnetism over time, this is the first thing to check as if it does not have a CLEAN cps signal it will not prime, but should still fuel when turning over, just run a seperate live to fuel pump then try, if it then works you know you arre looking at a pump circuit fault.
Cps will of course knock out the sparks as well, but it is more likely to be the connector than the cps sensor itself playing up so do the wiggle test on it.

thanks 4 everyones help found the problem it is the relay .one of the fuel relays. on mine there are two yellow relays does any one know what these do and were can i grab one from many thanks .

tabetha

If they are yellow they are std ford relays used on most fords for most things, so scrappy, or just get a pattern part from car shop, it will either be type A or B, determined by pin position, but any with pin in same positions will work.

As Tab says - they are easy enough to sort - glad you found the problem mate.

I got a fuel pump relay from my ford dealer last year. So i think you can still get them. 1 of the relays is for the engine ecu and the other is for the fuel pump which you will know now. If your looking for the paint code there should be a metal plate on the front panel near your chassic plate. This should have the paint code on. It should also say the name of the colour of the paint.
