Don't know what pumping throttle does for injected engine, but if gear stick vibrating then would suggest not firing on all 8 pots. Could be number of things. Have you checked for fuel getting past filter and have you got strong spark, that's were you should start, but maybe other things of course.
 
have you taken spark plug out see if wet /colour.? maybe leads.?
can you here a slight ticking or in the dark shows as blue light tracking from ht/lead.
have you pushed all ht leads in/or on there fittings.
any water on the plugs?
 
been out again and had someone else look, spark plugs fine and working fuel is pumping through, going to have to get an electrician out i think to run a diagnostic looks like the person who had it before me has been messing around under the bonet, im missing the fuse box under there.

You say, it's trying to fire? Does it sound like it is firing at all, cause if it is then it has spark, would be looking into how strong the fuel flow is, maybe the pump is weak and not enough pressure to crack the injectors.
