Yup. Still waiting to hear back on it. I'll give 'em til the end of today and if nothing still heard I'll phone 'em tomorrow. I don 't want to push it as they've kind of given me to understand that it will be cheaper if they simply fit it in when they can rather than prioritize it. BTW, this is...

You came to this rather long thread late in the day so you probably missed the post where I stated that the conflicting information I was getting from different sources was leading me to suspect that this vehicle was a bodge-up that been made up from disparate stolen parts from other models. Not...

Ah, well you're probably from the low countries, then. They typically speak 5 languages. I'd never have known anyway. Well done!:)

Right, then. My bet is that the ECU has packed up; a view I took some time ago. Anyone else like to make a prediction as to what the problem will eventually turn out to be? I thought I saw a 'poll' feature on here somewhere but it must have been some other site. Pity; could have come in handy.

In which case I can claim off the insurance!

I think you'll find I said it *didn't* even sputter (if I didn't my apologies). Sure I rechecked it whilst monitoring there were volts on those 3 orange brown wires just in case they went intermittent again. Nevertheless, NO action on the injector front!!:p It's gone now. Someone just took it...

Sigh... No more suggestions, please. People who have read the thread right through will be aware (even if some have forgotten it since; it's understandable) that the EMU is outputting precisely ZERO volts to the injectors, so how anyone can expect checking the fuel pump to make any difference is...

Something I moved caused power to return, so there's a bad/loose connection there to contend with as well. Thanks, but I'm done with it, tbh. It's time to turn it over to someone more familiar with these things.

Sounds good to me. Cheaper than a new ECU!:)

Cut long story short. Now have power to the pins aforementioned by Sierrafery and the dang thing still won't so much as splutter. I made a final attempt to check for signals to the injectors at the ECU end just in case the wiring between ECU and injector harness had been somehow severed, but...

I hope you're younger than I am, then, if you have to do hours like that. Hopefully I shall have better news soon. Until then! Tune in again tomorrow, kids. :)

Noted, thank you. May I please lie down in a darkened room with an ice pack now? Thank you.

Many thanks for that info, Sierrafery. I'm suffering from diagnostics exhaustion right now so will peruse it in the morning. If what you say is correct, the fault should be readily detectable I'd have thought. Enough for now!

OK, well we've been down so many false rabbit holes in this investigation so I'll reserve judgement on that for now. I've had it up to here today (pointing at my arse) and I'm not making any more excursions outside 'til tomorrow. I'll focus in on that area and find what's amiss with any luck...

Are you SURE about that? I did ask the auto-electrical bloke about those brown/orange wires when I had him on the phone this afternoon and he called up the diagram on his computer. Told me they should NOT be live with the ignition on!

One of the first things I did.

I have actually checked all the fuses and relays. First thing I did. I even hooked the relays out and bench tested them fully; they were fine in all respects. I freely admit I don't understand that section of the wiring diagram, though. It's nothing like I'm accustomed to.

If these are the three wires coded brown/orange shown tied together on the schematic, there are 0v on them with the ignition on. Pin 33 otoh, is reading 12V. Is that right?

Are you looking at some other diagram? Granted pin 33 is +V supply to the ECU, but pin 2 is a permanent ground connection and 22 is brown/orange here!

You're quite right about the switch of course. I'll do that. And I'll check for voltages on the other pins you mention, too.
