[coastline taxis]

Car was running fine then just stopped towed in and plugged in no faults showing up Just wont start. starting checkings things and theres no fuel comming out of tank through the fuel lines so thats why it wont start and yes theres fuel in the tank and theres power going to the 1 of the 4 wires that go into the tank Now what i need to no is

1 does this model have a pump in the tank

2 Any common faults on these pumps

3 should the pump in tank ( if fitted ) start to prime when ignition is turned on

4 Should the power going to the tank be on permenant

 

thanks

steve

1/. yes

2/. every thing has problems :blink:

3/. yes for a second only

4/. sort of yes but switching, pump doesn't run all the time but it always has power with ignition on,

 

things to check are inertia fuel pressure switch ( if you have a spike in the electrics it shuts the fuel system off and you need to find the switch to reset it ) others are mobilizer/fuses/ crank-cam sensors/ coil packs/ spark at the plugs and lastly the coolant temp sensor ( this has been a topic on many sites im on and due to poor quality and it will kill the engine from starting

You may have this sorted by now but it reminds me of when the fuel pump on our Saab 9000 failed. It was on about 150k miles. Parked the car then when I returned it would turn over but not fire. The RAC did lots of checks, power at the pump ok and then was able to start the engine for a few seconds by squirting carb cleaner or something similar into the air intake as it was turned on the starter. The car was taken home on the back of a recovery truck (about 3pm on a new years day so a good tip given to the driver). A new pump sorted it, like the C5, it was located in the tank in a combined filter/gauge.

Its all sorted now up and running turned out to be a fuse it had a hairline crack in it so when you looked at it you couldnt tell.

when I check fuses I use a multimeter and check continuity much better resutls than the eye can see
