Default 1999 1.4 focus won't start

Evening,

Just bought a 1999 1.4 zetec focus, it's been stood without a battery for 2 months, connected a battery, it turns over, but won't start.

Any ideas?

Could well be fuel pump, I had one go on my old focus. Lift the back seats up and turn the ignition on. You will hear the pump whirr for a second. If it doesn't then it's most likely knackered!

Thanks for the replies, it's looking like the pump, did some research, checked fuse 12 and the fuel inertia cut off, both ok, spark is good, no fuel getting to the rail

Going to have a better look when i get chance tomorrow
