Default fooking cossie wont start. help me PLEASE

can somebody tell me which fuse and relay is for the fuel pump on a 2wd saph. i have my pump rewired and have power at the relay but the standard wire that im using as a trigger aint getting no power.

the car was running fine until i took the ecu out for some mods and when i put it back in it wouldnt start.

im pretty sure the ecu is fine and am hoping its just coincidence that it happened when i put the ecu back in.

can somebody help me please as the car is due for suspension setup next weekend and needs to be driving

Its a long shot but have you got a bad connection on the ecu plug?

maybe when you plugged the ecu back in, one of the pins on the ecu bent?

Just a thought but worth checking?

yes im using the old power wire that went on the pump.

tbh now that you mention it i have had a few problems with that plug as i have an aftermarket loom and had to chop the plug.

tbh its never been a great success because there is fuck all room to crimp wires properly.

might redo it all again just to be sure. thanks for your help

cheers for the help tev. really dont want to drop the bottom dash out again as it nearly took a port-a-power to get it lined up last time

too much fookin wiring and pipes going on but its as neat as a full days wiring would allow.
