can anyone help we cannot start my friends car 4.0 chimp we have spark we have fuel at the rail there is power at the injectors but it is not pulsing the ecu has been checked twice can you help

Have you got the ecu plug in the rightway around as it can be fitted either way.

Is the fuel pump priming when you turn on the ignition with alarm off.

Is the engine turning over on the starter.

The injectors are fired in two banks left and right, if there is power there and the ecu has been checked and both banks wont fire you could be looking at an imobiliser fault. (Check fuel pump runs)

Does the fuel pump spin up for a couple of seconds at ignition on and then stop again? When the engine is cranked over the fuel pump should start again - does it? Is there any reading on the rev counter during cranking? Where did you check for a spark - at one of the plugs?

hi
when you turn the key can you hear the fuel pump prime?
if not it could be a relay by the battery, take them out clean and put back in.
had this problem last year!
hope this helps
