Right, my car is a project so is off the road. Only start it every so often to bring it upto the house, work on it then back into the garage.
One day had the car upto the house and worked on it. Came the time to put it away and it wouldnt start! Yes battery was absolutely fine, but cant now hear the fuel pump prime!
Got a replacement off a guy near me, he tested it and said it defo worked ok. Got the tank down and plugged the pump in. Tried the ignition before re fitting ( dont want to have to take it down.......again!) Didnt work! 2 small nicks in the wires to the plug so i cut them and re-joined them and still nothing! Fuse is ok and I can also hear the relay click when I turn the ignition on but the pump wont prime!

Any ideas please. Im really not good with car electrics unless its wiring up a stereo!!

 

it would help if we knew what car it is

 

If its a Cosworth there as good chance its the wiring loom, new fuel pump looms can be bought for Ł50ish

 

Sorry, escort mk6 1.6

 

lol I wish!


Back to the top!

 

Anyone??

 

I wish my neighbours would work.

 

lol at the........' light entertainment' !

 

Keeping it bumped sir.

 

Check that the inertia switch hasn't been knocked.

 

or if there is one, the relay is good and not playing up.

 

Have you checked there is power at the pump?

 

what he said

 

check the "crash" switch, then using a DVM check for 12v plus on the power wire and then check the other (ground) wire for continuity with the chassis! If you have problems PM me and if desperate I can skype you and talk you through it!
