Engine no fuel or spark? - NigelBegg - 08 Sep 2012

Hi Guy's

Fresh from florida and actually in great condition, this DeLorean just needs a bit of fettling but whats nice is that nobody has added any aftermarket stuff or hacked into the loom at all.

So the problem is if i put power to the pump the fuel gets to the engine. with the ignition no power to the fuel pump?

The second issue is no spark! power to the coil but no spark at all?

So i am guessing ECU or something?

I am open to ideas, also can someone send me Dave's number again as i have a long list for him of interior parts again!!!

Thanks

I had a similar problem with #2292 last year that involved getting the RAC out to the car,
turned out to be a blown fuse.

Hope you get it sorted ok, got any pics of your new car to share with us? Smile

May be worth checking the cut off switch in the drivers footwell as this would stop the pump getting power.

For the fuel pump did you test jumper-ing the RPM-Relay to rule that out as being bad?

sorry mate, but the RAC have blown the AA out of the water for the last 2yrs with their prices for us,
so we've stuck with them.

Anyway, I doubt your my local patrol :wink:
