It's an old 216 coupe auto, honda engine, 1993.

Was working perfectly, parked and left for a day and now just cranks. It has a clifford eagle alarm and a seperate cat two immob.

The fuel pump doesn't run, theres no injector pulse or spark. Assumed most likely an alarm/immob fault so checked the two cuts/bypassed and still no joy, also the inertia switch has no live(12V) it's just ground all the time and the fuel pump fuse is effectivly open circuit? has no live nor is ground. If 12V is give to the inertia switch then the fuel pump runs but still no spark or pulse.

Any suggestions/links to a wirring diagram etc? I'm a Jaguar technician so can tackle most things but have no love or desire for this thing.

Apart from the above it's a gem! lol

Not technical so might not have understood the above completely, but I've had starting problems on a 214 which was down to the crankshaft position sensor. Replaced and was ok.

Ta for the suggestions,

As it happens have got to the bottom of the problem now, it was the main relay assembly behind the centre consul that was at fault, they get hot and the solder joint onto the pcb cracks free, visible as a dirty line in the solder. Re soldered the two relays pins to the pcb and it's done the job :-) never cost a bean either.
