efi 1987 won't start

(1/4) > >>

big rob:
I have a 87 efi 3.5 which has been standing in my garden for 3 months.
i went to start it on sunday with a fully charged battery, it started for about 15 secs and then stop as if it had run out of fuel.
i put in 2 gallons of fresh fuel, and it refused to start , so I thought it had flooded so cleaned the plugs and tried again it would'nt start.
so then I tried some easy start in the snokel, and still no luck, so I opened up the air filter to spray some easy start into the air filter directly on opening the air filter water can out, so it appears that the car started briefly and then water moisture has been drawn into the chamber,
so all air filter pipes have been disconnected and dried the plenum chanber has been removed and dried of any moisture all the plugs have been cleand and left out over night to allow the engine to fully dry out of and moisture in the block or wiring, I have checked all the fuses and it still won't bl----y start, I have a spark at the spark plug and I have fuel at the spark plug as I have tried to start today but still no life.
I'm now at a loss as to what to do it? it usually runs fine without any problems.
Any help would be great or suggestions?
thanks Rob :cry:  :cry:

Range Rover Blues:
Check the fuel pump and relay, yo umay not have any pressure behind the fuel. :?

big rob:
do you know where the relay for the fuel pump is on an 87 ?
thanks Rob

Range Rover Blues:
s**t, thought you might ask me that one, err next to the ECU I think but there should also be a fuse in the fusebox on the dash.

DaveS:
Its under the drivers seat on RHD in front of the ecu. I think its the one nearest the centre of car.

There is also a small ralay running off the coil supply naer the air flow meter-not sure if that has anything to do with fuel pump.
