Dead chimp

[Deendog]

Well not entirely dead. Battery is fine (been on trickle charge for a few months) starter turns over but engine doesn’t fire
AA guy checked fuel pump fuse as power didn’t seem to be reaching pump - fuse ok
Was running great before being put away in Nov
Any obvious things to check??
Thanks

Hi, the easiest thing to check after a long lay up is the 2 relays with the stripes on them by the main ecu. One of them is for the fuel pump.

Will try that
Much appreciated

Most every car we had in after a long period off road needed a new fuel pump. They just don't like sitting still.
Lay/kneel down beside the left rear wheel and listen while someone turns the ignition on with the immobiliser off. You should hear the pump run for a few seconds.
If you are confident to do some tests then identify the fuel pump relay (one of the 2 relays loose in the footwell). It has a Purple/White wire at pin 30 and a Black wire at pin 87 Plus other wires. Pull the relay from the socket and use a piece of wire to connect pin30 to pin 87 you should hear the pump run.
let us know your results.
