The ecu warning light has come on on the dash board, i ony managed to limp back to my workshop and now it doesnt want to start, sounds as if its fuel starved, any ideas, or will i have to book it in to vauxhall for a diagnosis???

on topbuzz.co.uk there is a guide to getting the fault codes from the ECU.

its just ready a constant code 12
which means the system is fine,

it seems like its fuel starved, is there a fuel cut off to the pump anywhere??

Check any vac pipes to regulator etc. Is it early GSi? Siemens ECU or later cat equipped Multec? I have found over time that nobody really knows anything about GTE/GSi management systems.

why not try removing the inlet fuel pipe to the fuel rail and flick the ignition on and off, as the fuel pump should spin up for a couple of seconds. if there is fuel there then try injectors?

Starved of fuel? could it be a faulty fuel pressure regulator if it's nothing to do with the fuel pump and lines?[/b]
