[QUOTE="MattInARedMicra, post: 785866, member: 32478"] You can rule out NATS/immobiliser issues as those affect the injectors Could be blocked fuel filter? (either the in-line one or the bag filter on the pump) Could be empty with the fuel gauge not working? could also be gummed up with old-fuel? (although you'd still expect a voltage at the pump) Could be a fuse? (there are fuses in the engine bay and also under the steeringwheel to the right, one of them is for the fuel pump) Could be a dead fuelpump? they're around £60 for a new one although a bit of a bugger to replace You can usually hear the fuel pump come on quite loudly when you turn the key usually - I thought this was timed with pressure at the injectors but somebody told me in the thread that frank mentioned that it's just on a 3 second timer. So there's no sort of pressure switch or anything to think about, if you don't hear it every time you turn the car to 'on' without attempting to turn the engine over [/QUOTE]
