Do you get anything when you turn the key IE lights in the dash engine turning ?? IF YES

then

Have you tryed the fuel reset switch in the spare wheel well ??
Fuses ??
Relays ??

 

yes all the dash lights come on and it turns over fine.
which realy is it ? and where is the fuse couldnt see one in the fuse box for the pump cheers will check the Knock switch aswell

 

Not sure on the fuse and relay dude iv only just got my sapph so im learning about them all the time but if you have one check the owners hand book that should tell you

Let me know how you get on

 

Relay and fuse for pump are behind the glovebox on passenger side

Pull glove box out,fuel pump relay is a yellow one,with a yellow multiplug going on to it

As above check your fuel cut switch in the spare wheel well,quite often under a couple of inches of water

 

Thanks allot for your help will check them out tonight will let you know what i find

No probs

Good thing about this site,allways some1 willing to offer advice/help out

 

lol mine used to do about once every 2 mnths.....a quick smack on the dash and she'd fire up again Traced it to a dodgy connection on the ecu plug...cleaned it up and she aint done it for a few yrs now

 

Im wondering how you manged to come round to "smack the dash", oh thats right its cossies weve got here, sometimes they lead you to that frustration, i usually use my head as the hitting tool, while shouting "why meeee"

 

mine did that and it turned out to be a dodgy connection on the fuel pump itself so after a quick clean up all was well

 

Yep my Cossie sometimes just dies like this, I've found the fix is to undo the steering adjustment lever, and ram the wheel in and out a couple of times, always works

 

Classic , gotta love the Cossies aint ya

 

i dont know if the cossie pump is the same but i have a 2.0dohc saph and the fuel pump, which is accessible through the spare wheel, has a reset button on it for some bloody stupid reason. mine has tripped twice and the first time it happened i was stumped for days. pissed me right off, bareing wires back, checking plug connections an shit. push the little button o the pump and its sorted.

 

Hi all sorry bout the delay gettin back to you moved house an had no internet but turned out it was the fuse to the ecu relay but whilst i was checking all the sensors to the ecu i found that the phase sensor is wired to pins 6 and 22 not 5 and 23 as the drawings all point to anyone found this before as it runs fine any info would be great cheers lads

 

just found out it was the knock sensor and the phase sensor that were pluged in to the wrong ones swaped them back and all is well Big thanks 2 the boys at motorsport developments for the info
