fuel pump will only run for 3 secs on start up just to get pressure up the press reg in fuel rail turns it on and off as reqd.1st check the injectors have power with iggy on then the ecu earths them to turn them on .while cranking put screwdriver on injector ear on other end is click noise herd.
1 volts on inj
2 noise from inj
3 needs crank signal to let ecu no engines turning.a good home tune man can plug in and tell u if its working
to fault find a complex fault you just follow step b step ecu last port of call but a jump start can damage ecu
do you know anyone good with diag equip?
