Check the all the earths in the engine bay, my frst wouldnt start after a 4 year rebuild. was an earth on the drivers side inner wing. All the pumps primed, plugs fired, just injectors wouldnt work.

Phase sensor = Spark
Crank sensor = Injectors

Or it might be the other way round?

I was under the impression that on the L1 ECU loom the "power" feed for the injectors came from the fuel pump relay and then the injectors are switched to earth by the ECU in order for them to fire.......

Might be worth looking for your 12 volts and work from there........

Infact, looking at wiring diagrams, all the cossie wiring looms are like this - 12 volt feed from the fuel pump relay once the ignition is on......

As said^^ 12v for the injectors will be constant when turned on, so check it's there first, it does normally come from where said.

when you first click the ignition on the led i put in injector socket lights up but then it goes off ,so you say the best place to check is the fuel pump relay.
can you tell me where i can find such relay?
could this also be a bad earth?
as the fuel pump is priming?
ive ordered a new tdc/phase sensor today from matt lewis so when they get here im gonna whack them on gap them properly and see how it goes.
