My C20LET Nova won't start.

im sure yuoll sort it mate

[valvercorsa]

only had a quick read tho but haven't noticed fuel pump relay been mentioned?

no fuel and no spark its the first thing id check

sorry if iv missed something!

I'd say the crank position sensor but failing hat I've got a Oner here with your name on it if you can't sort it, I'll take it off your hands

[krobinson]

To be honest i'm out of ideas.

I'm going to change the ECU, Crank Sensor and Fuel pump relay, and if none of that works then i'm going to have to change the loom.

Keith, make sure the tank vent valve is clicking when you try and start it. I had a similar problem and i had a problem with that valve.

I must price a new metal one from vaux, cheers

Time for a remortgage on the house or a bank loan !!! They are not cheap new - try & source a reasonable condition one second hand maybe??

The metal ones are very reliable unlike the plastic ones for some reason???

Is the fuel pump priming when you switch the ignition on? if not then you can discount the crank sensor as it's most likely the relay or the ecu. If it's not, check to see if there's power getting to the relay. If there's no power to the relay, check to see if the feed from the ecu is live, if not it's the ecu, if there is, it's the loom

The pump relay would not stop it sparking

[Sturge]

Pump and ignition usually run off the same relay

- There is power to the relay, If I run a wire direct from the live at the relay to the pump then it fires.

- The pump doesnt prime when the ignition is turned on, i assumed it did nothing until its cranking?

So this would mean its either the ECU or crank sensor? Or could the relay still be the culprit? (it came out of a working car)
