View Full Version : gte not starting
i can't get my nova gte to start, it has a spark, and turns over but won't fire, and it's definatly got fuel in it. i've only had a quick look cause it get's dark too early, just want to know what to look for next time i get chance. how do i check if the fuel pump is working? and that the injectors are firing?
cheers
ben.
you should just be able to hear the fuel pump working
i always could on my gte and i can with my sri
in fact its loud on me sri

might be the relay or the pump, put a test lamp or volt meter over the pump and try to start
that will give u an idea whats happening
It will be the relay, if its a fuel issue.
Pumps are usually bulletproof, unless they seize!
But you would have needed to leave it for a few years for that! lol
right, i've put power to the pump and it come on so it must be the relay. how much are they from vauxhall?
I bought one a a couole of years ago, think it was ?18
get one from a scrapyard they are the same on all MPi vauxhall's
i went through three fuel pumps in the two years i had my gte
sorted, ?18.10 + VAT. it runs now
I have a GTE with shorts, earth problems, in fact every bloody electrical problem under the sun!
Going to put a carb on it tonight! F***ing injection systems and electric crap.
I had power drains from everywhere, and possibly a short in instuments/inferior light/ciggy lighter circuit. Also earths are fine with no ign, and up to around 2ohms with ign on up to 9ohms when cranking, that's why mine won't run anyways.
my mate has a gte that wont start. he got told it could b phase timing. that was from a guy at vauxhall
