Default 2wd cos not starting

any ideas or common probs as to why my 2wd cos won't start, all its doing is turning over has half a tank of optimax in it.

the other thing that is suspect is when u turn the ignition on the pump isn't buzzing its just goes click like something mechanical turning stopping all of a sudden.

does anyone know where the fuel pump relay is? also what is the correct ampage fuse for the injection fuse in the fuse box holder?

cheers in advance peeps

its not coming from the glovebox, its just as you try turning it over, the pump just goes clink and you don't hear it buzzing and pushing fuel, checked the boot for the fuel cut off switch and thats fine, gonna try changing the pump as i'm pretty sure thats what it is.

cheers

it maybe that the pressure in the fuel is right so it is clicking. over words the fuel pump relay is switching it off just pull out an injector and put a jug underneath the injector and start her up if it fills you no the pumps fine if it dosent then its a fuel delivery problem

Hi,

Check your security contactor, under the spare wheel.
