It could be an immobiliser problem if all else seems fine. One day when driving along my old immobiliser decided that the keys were no longer in the ignition at position 2 (even though the engine was running!) and so after a few monutes re-enabled the immobiliser while I was driving, cutting the power to the fuel pump!
Ok, pull the relay and get out your multimeter/test light on the pins of the relay socket: 1 - earth 2 - live 4 - ignition live If they check out try bridging a piece of wire between pin 2 and pin 3, the fuel pump fuse should get 12v and the pump should start, if not there is a problem with the fusebox!
Checked power all ok,ran a wire between the two terminals as suggested got power and the car fired up...ordered a new relay put it in tonight and still wont work???will it be a duff new relay or something else the problem??? Help please cause have had enough of this motor its really starting to do my head in.
could be the earth to pin 1, did you check you get ign live to pin 4? Also are you sure its the right relay for your car, handily there are several depending on the year! Is it an 8v or 16v?
Its an 8 valve, quoted the number from the relay i removed and the motor factor matched it up???couldn't afford VW they wanted 42 plus vat!!! Will check tommorrow night power to other pins, cheers for the help much appreciated...would just scrap the thing but have spent too much money on it now.
Was ok till i removed the inlet manifold to sort out it drawing air,put it back together then wouldn't start???
Don't think it has a cat!! will double check tonight.This work thing just gets in the way of important stuff doesn't it??!
Right have double checked wires... 1 Earth 2 Live 4 Ignition live If i bridge 2 and 3 the fuel pump runs and the car will start...the car doesn't have a cat!!! Imust have got a faulty relay from the motor factors no????[:^(] [:^(]
Hi How thick is the wire you are using to bridge ? How thick are the pins of the relay ? Any pictures may help.
Will check tonight...have ordered another relay just in case the last one was faulty!!!Fingers crossed. Girlfriend thinks i have another woman on the go dissapearing every night
At long last got another relay to try and guess what,just the same!!! Been trying to find broken wire anything but no luck????Anyone have any more ideas please?????? Or offers to buy the ****** thing gratefully accepted[:^(] [:^(]
