I'm Neal and I am here to assist you. Only accept when you are happy with my assistance. If I can't help I will open your Question to other experts.
Do you have a code reader? Or can you get to one?
How did you check for fuel?
Can you hear the fuel pump come on when you turn the key on?
This question will remain open and I will continue to work with you even after you accept. The question will remain active for 7 days after our last communication.
Don't have a code reader.
Fuel tank had recently been filed, also can hear it sloshing aroung when rock the car.
Can't hear the fuel pump, but there is definately a problem with the relay as it is chattering.
I have a new relay comming, once fitted we will be able to see if the pump is working.
I have checked the fuses and the inertia switch.
I will update as soon as I have the new relay unit fitted and checked if the fuel pump is working.
However this may not be until next saturday.
Is there anything else I should check?
It sure sounds like the relay is the problem. Even though it is turning over, make sure the battery has a full charge.
