How about water getting onto the fuse box/fuses/relays?

Does the fuel pump prime? What kind of 'not starting' is it?

I'd suspect the ECU but I'm not an auto electrician. Are you in the AA/RAC? They can probably diagnose which part is playing up.

Do you know someone nearby with a Tamora/T350/Sagaris/Tuscan which you can borrow the ECU from for a test?

Go throught the standard checks

Battery Voltage
Fuel pressure
Sparks
Sensors (particularly crank)

Does the T350 have a MIL plug bulkhead connector between the ECU and engine loom (as per the Tuscan)?

I would try disconnecting / reconnecting this as well as the 24way main interface plug that supplies the loom from the fusebox, etc.

Bulkhead connector....

Interface connector....

I recognise the connector - I think the round one is what is plugged into the bulkhead on the T cars.

Scott, if it starts for a second then cuts out it sounds like the fuel-pump relay.
Do a search as there're a few threads about this problem.
Mine was fixed by my dealer.

Get Magnecor leads from ACT (www.actproducts.co.uk) as they're much better. I had the dealer fit some to mine at service before it went to the rolling road.

Can't help with the plug spanner - won't be anything exotic though, must just be an awkward angle or something.
