Does anyone know why I’m not getting fuel to my spark plugs?
I have a spark and can hear the fuel pump running.
It started and ran fine in the morning with no error codes showing. Went to start again a couple of hours later and engine cranks but will not start.
I'm not being funny, but chec
I'm not being funny, but check you actually have fuel - floats can jam and/or fail, then the gauge tells you lies.
First up, have a look at injector fuses / fuel cutout (if fitted).
After that, unbolt the fuel filter, and check that is OK - if there is fuel reaching that, it will be under pressure, so wrap it with a rag or remove fuel filler cap. Then follow fuel line to throttle body and check there.

Many thanks
Thanks for that.
There’s defiantly fuel.
All fuses seem ok
The rest makes perfect sense and will do all that when light tomorrow. I keep you posted.

Up and running again
Hi,
Here we are a week later and I’m up and running again.
Just for the record and in case it helps anyone else out there in similar circumstances I’ll jot down the details.
Thanks for somewhere to start Dave with a Sporty, I checked the fuel filter and that was ok. And there was pressure at the injector bar. I then realised that the injectors weren’t switching in so had a thought it might be the ECU. I removed it to take it down to the garage for a test only to find it saturated, I could literally pour the water out of it. Thinking it had to be completely drowned and dead I opened it up, poured a bit more water out and left it on top of the Rayburn for a couple of hours (I didn’t find this solution in any manual I have to add) When dry, out of curiosity more than anything else I popped it back on, turned the key brummm brummmm off it went.
Next problem is to find the leak. Does anyone have any ideas where a leak somewhere above an ECU might be coming from?

Bound to be the windscreen ru
Bound to be the windscreen rubber.
Wish I had a Rayburn to dry ECU's (Or anything else) out on
