    my 98 vt wont start
    it will wind over but wont fire
    it was running fine then went to pull out of my drive way and it just died
    i only replaced the fule pump a couple of months ago
    so it has me stuffed as to what it could be
    also the thermo fans dont work
    im starting to think there could be an electrical problem
    but any other thoughts would be great
    TIA

    Maybe got a dud fuel pump. Check the fuel filter. Check all your fuses and fusable links under the bonnet and in the car. Don't go by how they look, test them properly.
    Also check the fuel pump relay and fuse. If it just happened after you got the new pump, I'd be checking around that first.
    Have you added a tacho? If the the signal wire of the tacho shorts to earth, no way the car will start. It happenned to me.
