Now its broken down
Discussion
I think this car is determined that I experience every TVR issue, from rough running, dodgy steering rack, dropped doors now after popping to Sainsbury's on the way back the exhaust popped a bit and cut out and wouldn't restart, the fuel pump primed and tomorrow I'll check for a spark when I got time and that is the limit of my knowledge as to what I can do so I can see it being a trip on the back of a tow truck to a garage at some point. The battery is new and strong and it turns over, but nothing f*****g car! I noticed the temp gauge has also packed up, but I suspect that's nothing to do with it
Check the basics such as fuel in the tank as gauges can lie, make sure the connections to the coil are on and feel tight.
Basic visual of things like distributor cap and rotor arm, king HT lead is in place.
2 relays in the footwell but you may have replaced them, fuel pump and main relay.
Fuel pump connections worth checking too, they corrode and give dodgy connections.

yeah fuel ok and visually everything seems in order, I'll have to get a mate around to turn it over while I check for a spark as for relays, what am I looking for? there are just a mass of cubed looking things attached to the ecu and that's as much as I know, (provided you do mean the passenger footwell?),no idea where the fuel pump relay is or what it looks like, but I can hear the pump prime, so does that mean it's working?Basic visual of things like distributor cap and rotor arm, king HT lead is in place.

If you hear the pump, I would say that this is fine.
Looks more like an ignition issue, specially if you had bangs from the exhaust.
Check for sparks, could be the coil, the distribution finger (and/or cap), leads (more unlikely you would have at least some cylinders working except if this is the main one of course).

yeah that will be my first job when I got 5 mins, grab a mate and turn it over while I check for a spark, Question...I've read about immobiliser issues on here, how do they work, do they stop the fuel supply or spark, or none of the above?Looks more like an ignition issue, specially if you had bangs from the exhaust.
