Default Help before i set it on fire :(

I brought me a rs turbo the other week on the road with tax mot and running

Anyway I parked it up on my drive with a cover over it done few little jobs to it like vacuum it clean it etc and just make sure everything was tidy under the bonnet. Car still running.

Then went to it a few days ago and it's a no go would start for love na money

So I've

Checked timing
Checked spark
Checked wiring
Checked for air leaks

Changed dizzy
Changed leads
Changed injectors
Changed ecu
Changed plugs and leads

Still no go

Car turns over fine but just won't fire seems to just fill the bores of fuel also has a funny squeak when the pump primes from under the bonnet

If I remove the fuel pump relay after a few cranks it will fire but wont start guess thi is no fuel has relay unplugged

So any ideas it really isndriving me mad now and I have no other idea what it could be

Any help would be great thank you

The coil is missing from the list, you changed it and forgot to write it up or haven't you changed it? Did you work through methodically or just swap parts AA style?

The funny speak is the key fella its over fueling, if the cold start is unpluged you are looking at a fault with the TPS fella, it doesnt know where you value is for fuel of the throttle, norm if you move it by hand under the bonnet you should hear a click etc, there are known for going and people (90%) SAY ITS METERING WHEN ITS NOT !, im a ford mechanic of many years and spesh in work rally cars, norm historic etc working for some nice names

What ever you do by the way dont touch the CO value ! most people fiddle with the screw while trying to sort it, if you get in big tits up probs and give up im in north yorks and could always sort it !
