Now someone mentioned immobiliser. We have a spare loom connector marked immobiliser and have done nothing with it...please tell all.

Make sure there is a looped plug in there or your fuel pump will definately wont work.

Hi Tim and Chris,

I had similar problems starting mine, here are some problems I had  ...

1. Fuel pump wiring was wrong way around at the pump due to wrong sized loop connectors on WF loom.

2. Plug from main loom to ECU loom was wrong - as others have suggested ....

3. Inertia switch was wired wrong - a pig to access once installed but check for continuity with a meter (or battery and bulb!)

4. And finally ....  and don't laugh ....

Fuel feed and return were connected wrong way around at the engine ...  swapping these around enabled it to start ... having checked for fuel at the manifold by depressing the valve - stand clear, it's under pressure and will shoot across your nice tidy

garage!

You will hear the pump at pos'n 2 - only for about 2 secs.

Good luck and have faith - it WILL start.

Tony
