Hi guys I picked a mk6 escort up the other day as a non runner


Problem:


the car turns over and fires very briefly before dying (regardless of throttle no throttle)


Things I have checked:


fuel pump fuse ok
relay ok
fuel shut of button is fully depressed


anything I have missed? I cannot hear the pump fire up when the ignition is turned on( which is what I suspect is the problem!).


thanks in advance
Mike
