Hello there.

I've come to the car today and once again had a problem. Unlocked the car, got in, put the keys in and turned them. No noise came from the fuel pump and when the clutch was pushed in and keys turned fully, the car just sits turning over but not firing. I had the car out for a run on tuesday night and not a single problem with it. It was then moved on wednesday morning and again no issues, but this morning its a no go. Any ideas what this could be? I'm assuming a problem with the fuel pump or a solenoid of some kind.

I'd love to have it sorted asap so I can enjoy the car in some of this nice weather. Please help!

Cheers,

Craig.

There have also been a few imob playing up as well....

May be worth disconecting the Battery (at the battery) for 10/15 mins and then trying....

Yes agree with the Dr had the same thing twice on the GT2 car would crank but would not start, reset the battery by disconnection and reconnect and perfect.

Seems like some other form of radio transmitter can upset your rolling code on the fob the car unlocks but will not crank.

Ok, little update. I've had the battery disconnected, all put back together and no joy. The fuel pump fuse looks fine, however the fuel pump relay looks shot to bits. Any idea where I can get one from? I've searched a few places including a main dealers with no success.

Cheers.

can you borrow one from another circuit to check it is the cause of the problem, of course you may end up with two burnt out ones.
