VL Wont Start

[boycee]

Hey,

ok my VL wagon wont start, this isnt the first time it wont start... but it wont start for good now :|

... it has spark, fuel well fuel is pumping thru the line but it dribbles out you could say... batterys not flat as lights n what not turn on, checked fuses etc but i dont know where the fuel pump fuse is as it has seemed to be moved else where? i have wiggles the wires on teh dizzy etc etc.

when this happened before i took it to a friend of my dads who is a mechanic and he just played around with the fuses, doesnt kno what he did but it start again and had been working since.

please help, what can i check ?

thanks

if it is only dribbling, then sounds like a fuel pump problem.

There should be a fuel pump relay in the fuse box. Try swapping it with another one that is the same size.

ok,

there is two fuses i know the one your talking about, but whats the other 'fuel pump' fuse.. its one of the smaller fuses.. but then it isnt connected to anything it just has wires coming out of it which have been cut.

ok i tried that but still didnt help, battery seems to pretty much flat now.

any other things i should check?

crank angle sensor maybe? will it wind over? or is it just dead?

[boycee]

it tries to start, but just keeps wining... wont kick over.

got her goin, the wires to the fuel pump were dodgy... fixed em up and its all sweet now.

thanks any wayz

My mate had the same problem with his SL
we tried everything.
The last thing we tried actually was the TPS plug we unplugged it and it started. Wella
