I know this sounds obvious but have you checked the fuel cut off switch?

ECU should be fine if you are using the same ECU, transponder and key. Yes

When you turn the ignition on to the second click, can you hear the fuel pump prime? If not, check the red and black relay which is attached to the back of the ECU box. Yes

It is held on with a single 8mm nut, make sure you rememebered to plug this in. Yes

Also check crank and cam sensors are plugged in. Yes

Stan.

Use a make shit gravity fed fuel pump, big bottle with fuel in it higher than the fuel rail with a pipe going into the fuel pipe feed, then a pipe from the return feed line into a bottle lower than the fuel rail, then you will know if it works or not.

Or you could just get a new fuel pump LOL

nope!!

you need to see if the ecu is sending the signal to the relay to power up the fuel pump.

without unlocking you wont get a prime, without crank you wont get any more.

with a buggered relay you'll get sod all.

I was always under the impression that the ECU will lock itself if its unplugged from the car without the ignition turned on and will have to be sent off and unlocked for it to work again, Even if its for the same car it was removed Unsure

Or is that only transferring between cars?

You've said you are getting fuel, So the pump must be fine as must the Relay? Mine Couldnt be heard priming everytime you turned the key, It would only do it if it was left for a while.

It sounds as if the immobiliser is playing up the fuel and sparks will not work if the key and ecu are not from the same car or if the connectors are dud so double check that each of the connectors is clean and fully engaged also check the engine earthing.

As lots of others have suggested, check the relay box on the back of the battery box. If you unplug it and short out two of the pins on the loom plug then you should hear the fuel pump run.

Short pins 5 and 8 on the loom plug. If the pump works then the relay is fubarred.
