Project C20 NVA

Think i have a problem with the wiring ! Got the engine loom all connected up fine, got an earth strap and earth points on the inlet fine, got a constant live and the ingnition live, all good but when i turn the ignition on the pump dont start ! Even when i crank the engine the pump dont start, it only kicks in for a couple of seconds directly after i stop cranking the engine !?!
Any ideas !?!
Also there was only one wire from the donor car which when to the fuel pump and i am useing that one. The relay does has ignition live when i turn on the ignition.

fuel pump relay playing up maybe ??

It did work fine on the donor before removing. Could be tho.

Bought myself some new rear brake bits, cost me ?30 !

Mine only cuts in after i stop turning the car over, thought it should prime when you turn the ignition on !?!

The one on my car (Standard Nova) cuts in as soon as the ignition comes on

Its like a buzzing sound, I thought this was the same on all cars/engines

it should be as soon as the ignition comes on you should here the pump prime as far as i know please correct me if im wrong though, have you got a decent live going to the fuel pump ??

I have got a decent live, its just not sending anything from the relay until after i stop cranking !
