I bought my first s1 when I went to view it I started it and it turned over the first time and left a deposit I went to pick it up today and it would'nt start the fuel pump isn't coming on I put the pump relay onto another s1 and it seems to be working I directed the pump and the pump is fine what could be the problem can anyone please help

 

Wiring or immobiliser fault from the sound of it.

 

What happens if you bridge/short out the main fuel pump wires in the relay plug?

 

I've been advised to go efi and it wouldn't give me problems what do you reckon should I take his advice and go efi

 

I've been advised to go efi and it wouldn't give me problems vim getting all the set up for 350 should I go for it

 

That depends IMHO.

The car may not be starting for a multitude of reasons. If my tank is an original S1 fuel tank it is not baffled. Especially since I have changed to Cosworth brakes and stickier tyres I can stare the fuel pump at just under half a tank. If the car has been run towards empty a few times it would not help the fuel pump. With EFI the matter would be no different.
