Default Please help

Come to start my car this morning, everything fine, caught ignition and fired for a split second and died, i thought ok, i missed it this time, so i tryed it again, and realised that the fuel pump wasnt coming in to play, so i cant start it now?

Ive checked : Fuse so far but cant check the relay because i have no vault tester.

ANY help would be SUPERB.... Oh yeh, its a s2 rst

Thanks.

they are a very common fault on rs turbos.you can use one of the 4 pin relays out of the fuse box as a temp fix but you will need to replace it with a proper 5 pin again.

from what i can gather the fuse in the fuse box for the fueling isnt having a current sent thru it, and ive tested this via a current tester, also ive tryed various relays from scrappers and another 4 pin one, and its still nowt. Im stuck now..... and getting frustrated.

have you tried the heated seats and the injection fuse in the box?

Relay can go and blow them as well

Take the Pink relay out. Open it up. (Small screwdriver on the edges) Look at where the terminals solder joint onto the PCB are. Probably find one floats about, so isnt making a good join. Blob a bit of solder over the top and it will be fine as a temp fix.

there is no live feed to the fuse and circuit to the fuse box(relay) area... so for the time being, ive put a spare wire on another ignition fuse to the fuse for the pump, and when ignition comes on, so does pump, but its a temp fix.. thanks guys!

MUCH APPRECIATED!
