not as ar as i'm aware. have you checked your fuses? especialy the EFI ones. other than that its a process of elimination start with checking for a spark if thats good make sure you have fuel at the fuel rail if that good check timig incase the cambelt has slipped a tooth or two

Thanx but i have got spark she fires up if i pore petrol down inlet i just got no petrol getting up at all the petrol pump works if i put a live feed to it,all the fuses and connection look fine! :ffs: :censor:

a blocked fule perhaps, little a little but not enough fuel through, so it will build up in the rail over time of trying but not 'flow' with enough volume to keep it pressurized ?

crack the end of the rail open (beware of high pressure fuel with inevitably squirts upwards into your face whenever you do this, then when the pressure is released, tighten it up, turn on ignition but dont start the car, listen for the fuel pump to buzz whilst it primes the system, then crack the fuel rail open again and check for pressure.

If there is none blow back down the fuel rail until you hear bubbles in the petrol tank, then start over, if it fires up, get your tank cleaned out...

Let us know how you get on
