    if its late enough there is no ecu relay, just a pump relay. does fuel pump prime on 1st click of key? if so, check power to the fuel rail while pump is active. could be you have lost the live feed

    injectors not opening is usually a sign ecu is not alive. position 3 on the fusebox relay 109 engine management.

    the injectors should get power from the fuel pump relay, so that will explain it. Put the pump relay back in where it is supposed to go, and check the ECU is wired in properly. if ECU is not getting power the fuel pump relay will not be triggered.

    The later VR6 doesnt have an ecu relay either so dont be shocked if its not there. what year is it?

    I have a wiring diagram for the late VR, if you want it.

    are you testing from the fuel rail power pin to the battery -ve? if you're testing between the power and one of the earth pins on the rail then you'll see the injector pulse signal.

    if you are testing from the live to ground, no thats not right! you should see full 12v while the fuel pump relay is live.

    ECU power pins:
    1 - earth
    7 - earth
    23 - ignition live (fuse 15)
    54 - permanent live
    56 - earth

    check the wire to Z1 is plugged in :)
    will be a red or red/blue wire, with a yellow plug on the end. does the fuel pump prime?

    depends if its the factory one or not! the factory immobiliser will allow the car to startt and run for a few seconds, then it'll cut the engine. non-factory one i guess could cut the injectoor power if its been spliced into the right spot
