V8 Not starting but have spark.

(1/4) > >>

BobtailBogey:
Well been trying most of the afternoon and we seem to have spark but dont seem to be getting fuel through.

put a working fuel pump on but its not pumping???

replaced all relays with ones out my running v8 but also put 3 relays into the 3 connections pictured below as they were all empty for some reason..

Any ideas what to try?
Speedo, Rev counter and fuel gauge also not working if this helps at all..

BobtailBogey:
Have got the fuel pump working now there must be a break in the wire between the relay and the pump so have replaced that temporarily.
and it seems to attempt to fire now and then but wont catch.
took all the plugs out and a few of them dont seem to be dirty at all but the others are. they have recently been replaced.

so cleaned all the dizzy connections but still nothing.

Range Rover Blues:
There's a Shcreader valve on the fuel rail to check pressure, check you have pressure.

There's an inertia switch on the '91 onwards models, on the hard dash under the back inside edge of the passenger's seat on teh softie it's behind the washer bottle.  If the pump isn't running when you turn the ignition on then you have a problem.

dod51e:
If the fuel pump is OK then you could try taking out the idle over-run valve.  Located at the rear of the head on the drivers side.  Take out the two connectors and link them together.  Had this problem on my old 3.5.

BobtailBogey:
how do i go about checking the fuel pressure?
is it just a case of making sure the fuel is coming out of the valve?

Yes the pump is only about 8 months old took it off my bobtail which is off th4e road having some work done.

its a '88 3.5 efi..

also changed the dizzy and arm to workingones but still nothing.

i have 5 days till we off to wales fore a week  :?
