ok i have run out of ideas so far i have replaced the fuel pump 3 times, i dont think the first one was the issue, the 2nd one i brought from a store was stuffed from the factory and the third one was from a wrecker from a car driven into the yard that day so maby it works maby it doesnt. anyway i have also replaced BOTH the ECU and fuel pump relays (green & brown ones) both are brand new, all fuses are fine and I've even pulled the ECU itself out to be checked by an auto electrician and it checks out fine aswel.

the car will start if you spray 'some start ya bastard' up its snout and idle just fine if you continue to spray it, so injectors are still injecting, timing is still timing so i don't think smart lock is the issue since that doesnt touch the fuel pump only the injectors (correct me if I'm wrong)

so i am officially out of ideas, everything says it should be working but it just isnt, maby a bad crank angle sensor is telling the ECU "hey don't fire up that fuel pump" but yea now im just grasping at straws because i am just about done with this mystery!

anyone have any ideas as to what would stop a signal to a fuel pump?

are the injectors getting a signal? coz if your still spraying start ya bastard 'after' it's started then it appears they are not working. is the fuel reg blocked?. is the fuel filter blocked?.

Fuel Filter has been changed (forgot to add that to the original post) not sure about the fuel reg but even with a blocked fuel reg the fuel pump should still try to pump but it doesnt.

that's what I'm trying to figure out lol i might head to SCA in the morning to find a relay jumper and see if jumping the relay makes the fuel pump kick in
