Thought the amal valve was buggered but upon further investigation it appears that it is not even getting anything to tell the solenoid to move, i.e the wires are totally dead, so obviously there could be a wiring fault, which i think is unlikely, or something else wrong, what could that be??????

I think the Amal valve has a live 12V feed which should be constant with the ignition on.
The other i think goes back the the ECU (someone on here should be able to tell you what pin number) and the ECU will earth the Amal valve to operate it.

1st make sure you have a 12V feed when ignition is on. if you don't that could be the problem.

have you checked to see if your idle sped control valve is working also and maybe the fan switch?if i remember rightly a mate of mine had a problem with the amal valve and upon investigation found the other faults too!!maybe worth checking,just incase

first check whether you have 12v with the engine running. (will be on the black\red wire)

Pin 16 on the ECU is the amal valve trigger. (Brown\yellow)

The valve is only live with the engine running. You are aware of that i presume?

If so...
Live 12v from pump relay
Earth trigger from pin 16 of ECU.

Yes thanks for that, i had a look last night but wasn't too sure, i can see this being a needle in a haystack!
