....I used the same setting on my meter, right?

So, I'm writing all this to make sure I'm measuring correctly: The black plug relay ( the main relay ) with the ignition on & with an earth supply with a cable directly from the battery 86 (with thick brown wire) reads: 11.92 85 ( with blue/red wire ) reads: 1.87

OK. thanks.

.....I should double check, meant to say that is across pin 85 & 86

Morning, so I've measured the voltage across the relay coil (ignition on) & it reads 10.4 volts. What does that say?

Yup, hands up. I didn't deliberately miss that part of your reply, I want to solve this problem. Your advice has been appreciated. Thanks.

Darn it, I must have missed that, I haven't done that yet. If the reading is bad it means a new coil?

The originals were Bosch, slightly smaller than the recent ones, grey metal cased...here's a picture

However, in position they don't click, they buzz....& I dont know how to solve this or what would cause this.......is what I wrote in my original / first post. So this appears to be the nub of the problem....does anyone have any suggestions as to where I may look to solve this?

black one needs to switch ecu on... So the black relay turns the ecu on? Then the ecu is off & is why the fuel injection is not working. I need a better understanding of vehicle electrics...other than changing the relay itself, I need to work out how to solve the issue with the plug then...

That was for a 3.5 engine not a 3.9 that u have..... Mine is a 3.5 not a 3.9...

OK, it's a noise suppressor onto the positive side....found it.

OK thanks, I'm cleaning all the connections now. There is also 1 little cylindrical component attached to the body by the coil - is it a capacitor? Anyhow, there is a wire connected to it with a double spade connector...it's loose, not connected to anything & I don't know which terminal it...

No, I don't know if it does, I will see if I can find out....thanks.

OK, still no attempt to fire at all. I have removed removed the fuel line into fuel pressure regulator & there is fuel there so that's good. I can see very minor dampness in the pipe unions on the fuel pump so that's good & I will tighten them further. With the relays jumped as suggested I can...

...checked all the plugs whilst waiting for the battery to charge up. The plugs were a little sooted up but completely dry....

OK, yup, will do....thanks.

Morning.....so, the battery is back on & I have bridged the relay pins 30 & 87, & the good news is I can hear the pump, it's working. The bad news is it still won't start...I have cranked & cranked & flattened the battery.....so the battery is on charge again & I will try again. Fuel. air &...

Yup, I'm curious to know if there is one anywhere. I have already removed the kick panel & had a quick look, although the light was fading & my eye sight isn't the greatest so I'm not certain but I couldn't see it. I will follow the wiring tomorrow to see if it leads me to it. Was it a Shadow...

Aah, I see...different earthing points. Right, thanks. Hmmn, I saw on your profile Transylvania but wasn't sure if it was real or not. What's the situation in Romania regarding the coronavirus?
