Default P.a.t.s light not flashing

Hi fella's,

Having a problem with the pats i think.

engine turning over, but not fire, not fuel pump buzzing away, and no red flashing led light at all going on, not even when off or just turning on.

any help please?

Fuck me that van would have been burned by now!!!!
I know you've done the head recently,check that all the earths/lives are connected properly up by the battery?
or generally on the engine itself?
Rare to get a problem with this.
Did you check the fuel cut off switch by the passenger footwell?
Check ALL fuses as well,there's an engine control one that's only 3A,easy to blow.

This van is killing me, but i do have a soft spot for it.... she's nice

Anyway, it's the 52 escort van 1.4 cvh.

No flashing led light at all, which i did have whilst the head was off.
I think that the lack of flashing light is the pats system not working and it's disableing the fuel pump.

All fuses in fusebox fine, it get the relay clicking when i turn into posistion 2.

anyone, please anyone help!

Unless circuits on the PATS system have been bypassed by some bodging,pikey, it should not crank if the PATS isn't working.

Do you have battery voltage at injectors and coil?

Yeah,I forgot about that,it just used to click a lot on my old fiesta but not start and on the Ka the light just went mental.

Glassman,have you tried towing/bumping it?
