car wont start what was your outcome
 

Hi all having a problem with my car.
Okay It seems there are a few people that have had the same
so the symptoms
Was driving my car when it died
pulled over and its tsarted a couple of times after and cut out after about 5 secs
I pressume just burning fuel that was left in there
It turns out the feed to the fuel pump has gone
Checked all fuses that i can find
checked what i think is the fuel pump relay but not marked up
still no good
Checked connecter under back seat all okay no signs of anything suspect.
tried to trace from fuel pump but it is not easy
So if you have had this problem please let me know what the outcome was in case there is something else i have missed
i have connected the green connecters and it brings no fault up and cel light is not on and no immobilser codes are flashing up everything is as it should be
thanks in advance for any information.

Same symptoms as mine.

A new walbro fuel pump later she runs perfect.

Oh same happened to my mates STI 2 weeks later. LOL

so the fuel pump was fooked ?
Surely though if that is my problem then i would still get voltage to it ???

Oh and just remembered the beakdown guy had a power probe (no funnys please)
he put 12v to the connecter ontop of the fuel pump and the car starts fine......
drops the supply and cuts out .

you need to get a wiring diagramme to chase the wiring back to find the fault.

probably the relay knackered in my opinion.

if you got a sigma alarm on it then the immobiliser for the fuel pump has fried itself get a new ecu on it and it will start

Had this on mine and it was the immobiliser. Took it to Scoobyclinic and they took the fuel pump out of the immobiliser loop and all was well :thumb:

cheers for the info i have someone coming out tommorow now.
Just one thing though
if the car battery has a dodgy cell and goes dies quickly would this cause it too
If i try and start it it dies quite quickly
so if i have jump leads on even though there is charge there then would this cell problem still cause the symptoms im have
just a thought in case it could be this simple?
