Yep standard management system - I'll get the multi-meter out next week and start tracing wires back.Quote:

3rd - check to see if the starter wire is being presented with a +ve
We'll then see what presents itself!

Just to confirm the pump definitely doesn't prime unless cranking with an XE/LET in.
Crank sensor could cause this fault
well how'd you get on Joff?
My old XEJ didn't prime unless crank sensor had been triggered. Had a whole evening finding that one out.. impressed I wasn't (not least because observation totally contradicted the Bosch technicians manual!!!!)
Rather than **** about with wires just turn ignition on (plugs out) and hand crank engine a small amount... listen out for the tell tale momentary prime.
Starter motor solenoid - no idea, guess you want to check the wiring at its end.

WOW! Some real progress here Joff! Dash looks great!
Out of interest, what stat to rad hose you using? 1.3/1.4 or GTE/GSI?
Also, my nova doesn't prime the pump until cranking.
And, this is how I done mine and there's now clearance about 5-10mm.

Simps i think that is how myne is going to have to go! as i have already said myne did not fit doing it the way Joff has, just not enough clearance on full lock to be safe, thats with 16" et 45 wheels and 195/45 tyres
Quick update ......
IT'S RUNNING !!!!!
Video and commentary to follow shortly on Google Video.
