i had this before check the fuse box for a blown one as there is one that causes this.
failing that remove air filter and hold flap down a bt then try it.

Its cool sorted it all. I dunno why I unplugged all my vacuum hoses except the one to the ecu and fired up first time, and changed the plugs!

Oh well what fun this will bring. Anyone know a good welder in the midlands to do my floor pans???

Cheers lads

Disconnecting the vacuum hoses shouldnt of made a difference?

I thought you said you disconnected the battery to do the welding?

yeah disconnected the battery. The vaccum hoses are for the 5th injector and the boost guage. It has been crap starting the last few times so I dosconected all that could be leaking and just put in the ecu feed.

I call it proccess of elimination.
