| check fuel pump relay mate, its probably that..... its a 4 pin relay - relay number 12 (i think) in the under bonnet fuse box - when u turn ignition it should click and the pump should prime - if it dosnt replace that first
if ur handy with a multimeter - check for a live feed to the relay to terminal 30
if ur not good with a multimeter then bridge terminals 30 and 87 with a small piece of wire (with a fused link in it!! - just in case) - this will then bypass the relay and fire up the pump (easiest way to test it)
hope this helps | |

he's right ^^^^^^^^^^^ apart from the fact yur relays are inside the car under th dash
fuel pump has to prime and it should do it wen you turn ignition key ,
if the relay is ok it could be yur ignition barrel playing up
is the car turning over and not starting or is there nothing................
have you reffered to the k-jet troubleshooting guide ??

| it works but the power to the pump isnt getting there i used a wire to connect the pump to the fuse and it works so the wire from the fuse to the pump is broken and so i need to wire a line from the back of fuse 18 to the pump but i dont no where the back of fuse 18 is so many wires its a mess at the back so if some one could tell me where it is then i could fix it | |

you need to take off the lowerd dash section the unclip the fuse box and it will all fall about 4 inches the you can get to everything
BE CAREFUL
