Default 4x4 saph 1991

hello. thanks for looking. i have recently bought a cossie, it hasnt been ran in around 6 yrs.

i have fitted all new belts, all new filters, plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm.

my problems started when we attempted to start her and there was no fuel supply. a new pump was purchased and still no good. i then bridged the fuel cut out and still nothing. we then went for the relay and discovered the 20a fuse had blown. i now have the pump working.

when firing the car over it attempts to start, unlike when i had no power to the pump. at this stage im stumped.

i hate using it but i tried easy start and she starts and idles for a second.

can anyone plz give me some help...would b very appreciated!

thanks for looking

Are the 4 lugs on the crank pulley in tacked. Did you use the correct timing mark on the crank pulley.
