my engine cut out and it would not start, b4 i changed the Ecu i changed the coil, fuel pump relay, i then checked everything else, i then changed the ECU and it was fine 4 a few days now it is the same as b4

im totally stuck, dont know if the car is blowing the ECU's or not.
dont want 2 fit another till i know wot might have done the first 2 in, in the first place.

are u getting fuel and spark??

crank it a bit and remove a sparkplug kwik

look at the plug - if its covered in fuel the fuel injection is working ok

then using some rubber gloves or summat hold the plug near the block (a few mm's away) and crank it - u should get a blue spark, if not test the lead to the dizzy in the same way

if the lead to the dizzy doesnt give a spark its either the coil or the dizzy's contact breaker

if the plugs spark and there is no fuel check the pump wiring etc

get a mate to listen under the car at the pump and see if its running when u crank - if not check all the wiring and the pump itself (see if there is voltage reaching the pump while cranking
