    Exclamation Vs not firing???

    I got a problem with VS V6 After i started installing Amp and Level 3 cluster.
    It Cranks but doesnt fire
    Replaced DFI Module and Crank Angle sensor.
    Fuel Pump Ok
    Getting Spark
    Not Getting Fuel Pulse Though
    And There is fuel in tank and around about quarter full.
    has started a couple of times since the problem occured and idled fine, but once you turn it off it wont start again
    Checked Codes spitting out code 12 and sometimes 13
    but dont think oxy sensor would have much to do with it not firing
    What could be the problem?

    Is your immobiliser light going out when you turn the ignition on?.....if not try pressing the unlock button whilst the key is in the ignition.

    Check the EFI relay you said there is no injector trigger.
    Your BCM/KEY is working because the starter kicks over. If the right key is in the car and the BCM confirms this then BCM will engage the starter.
    It could be the PCM. When you turn IGN on the PCM must send a signal to the BCM if this signal is missing the PCM wont enable the injectors. (To Run The Car)
    So you have to check the circuit 1221 i think its a red/black wire for 5 volts when the IGN is on. Note use a Multimeter. You can get to this circuit through terminal 9 on the Diagnostic connector

    Turn the ignition on and leave it on for 45 mins to an hour - the red flashing light will extinguish and you can start the car....once only. Then to start again you need to go thru the 45 min wait again.

    To bypass the immobiliser its 45 minutes for series 1 VS,and 120 minutes for series 2 VS.As Hako mentions,watch for the red flashing security light to go off.Usually the engine wont turn over at all when the key or immobiliser is the trouble,nothing happens when you turn the key,like when its a dead battery or in gear whilst attempting to crank-(auto).

    did you blow a fuse when you were messing round with the dash.fuel pump will show disabled untill car is running or it will show during key one when it primes but you will most likely miss seeing prime when using efilive cause it wont log till the ecu is powered on ignition.pull the battery terminal and clear all the codes and retry
