It will not start
Posted: Fri Dec 02, 2016 7:03 pm
Hi All,
Just wondering where to start with this little issue. I tried to start the car today, it turned over well enough as I keep the battery topped up. It has not been started for a few months though.
It just keeps turning over, there is a spark and I have have removed the spark plugs and misted a little fuel in to the cylinders prime it a bit. It splutters at this point, attempts to start but it seems there is no ongoing supply of fuel. I disconnected the fuel supply to the injectors and turned the ignition on, whether there should be a burst of fuel at that point I cannot remember.
When I turn the ignition on but there are couple of clicks which appear to come from both the offside near the battery, abs I think, and also from the relays on the offside just near the lhm reservoir.
I am hoping the cause is a relay or possibly a fuse but any tips would be appreciated
Thank you in advance.
Dave
Edit
Been looking around and found previous problems and suggestions, I am going to try a newer battery and try to check some of the things in the link below.

I am thinking it is pump related but relay or pump, not sure.
