Cant get E rst to start pulled it down drive and switched it off came back to it and now it wont fire? had a look at all usual things spark fuel pressure enough fuel in tank and all seems to be ok. Has anyone got any other ideas?

 

check ALL pipes for air leaks!!

 

is your engine turining over? Check battery earth to coil, has to be good condition on the connectors! U got an immobilisor? Is your fuel pump priming? you can usually hear it! If you got a gd spark(pull lead off turn engine over couple of times and get some one else to hold plug lead close to side of engine), must be a gd blue flash! how did you check fuel pressure if engine wasnt running?

 

Cracked off pipe from fuel filter and fuel squirted out when turned engine over. fuel punp primes and buzzes when u turn the ignition on. There is no imobilisers on the car and there nis a nice blue spark.

 

May be a bit of a long shot here, but this happened to my S1 and it turned out to be the inj fuse (on S1 it looks like a spare, in between the two rows of fuses).

You never know.

 

check the flap in the metering head isn't caked up mine was and it wouldn't start probably worth a look

 

mine did exactly the same a few months ago everything seemed ok apart from spark plugs were dry no fuel getting through turns out it was the pink fuel pump relay under the dashboard it had been an intermittent fault causing starting problems
