just a thought have you clicked the fuel cut off switch down/the crash cut off switch? it is a big red button under the bonnet it is next to the brake fluid pot.

On a 1*2 you can pull the fuel rail complete with injectors and crack it to see if the injectors fire as the injectors are retained in the rail with clips...can you do this on a Vee? I dont recall the rail setup as I havent had mine apart yet.

If you can, do that, if you get nothing repeat the test but fake the switched earth from each injector in turn and then see if it fires.

Plug a noid light into the injector wiring and see if you get a pulse , you can use a 501 bulb as a noid light if you bend the wires over or scan it and see what comes up .

its pulsing fine

If it was pulsing it must of had power ?

Now you're saying no power to the injectors ?

 

[stu1318]

Aye no power.....I'm waiting on a noid light kit coming to just to make sure.....it was someone who looked at it for me and said it had a pulse...but there's no power getting to the injectors

Is it worth disconnecting, obviously battery disconnected, the ECU cables and reconnecting plus any other plugs that could have been got at by winter damp? Is there not a main engine harness plug on the bulkhead that could get a squirt of WD?
A trick that i do, at my risk i add, is try a squirt of carb cleaner down the manifold. I know you have done this but everytime i remove and replace something i do this trick to make sure i still have sparks. i have even used propane to get the damn things running after a fashion but very dangerous.

 

[stu1318]

i already did the disconnect battery and the big plug at the top of the engine and sparayed with wd.....its deffo not damp its warmer in ma garage than in ma hoose heating on 24/7 i will get there mate just takes a bit a time,,and cheers
