Push Schroeder valve down to check for fuel pressure in fuel rail..
Or take fuel hose off fuel reg and turn key on to check fuel flow, use plastic coke bottle to recover fuel... Take coil lead off and check for spark.. Hold end of lead about 10 - 12mm away from bare metal earth wile cranking.. If the internal light / boot light fuse is blown ?? Your smart lock won't allow fuel pump to switch on etc... Is there condensation / milk appearance inside oil filler cap ?? It could have a corroded front timing cover which is the housing for water pump... Check colour of oil on dipstick or drain oil from pan & check... Wiggle wire connected to the dissy TFI, check ALL battery connections and relays near the overflow tank...Suspect TFI module if there's no spark.. After checking coil or trying another one.. Check for fuel in tank.. Don't laugh it's happened !!!

Ok so as far as fuel flow goes - I had a mates mate come round one day - works for holden  he checked and aparently I have fuel to the motor - and the fuel pump is working so boot/ interior light is probably working - havent checked coz my battery is still charging . . . Apart from that he didnt tell me anything I didnt already know so thats why Ive made up this thread . . . I have checked the coil with a volt metre and it was fine - should I still check for spark with the lead? I do have spark - will see if I have enough tomorrow once the battery is back in the car so im guessing the Dizzy and TFI are ok. Will check oil and oil filler cap tomorrow. And as far as fuel I filled it in Phillip Island and only used 1/8th of a tank by the time I broke down so there is plenty of fuel . . .  Cheers for the help bud will update tomorrow after I have checked what I can - still gotta wait for money for compression tester ect. Cheers Grant |

OK an Update:
I have fuel in the fuel lines in the engine bay but not sure if its getting to the cylinder or not though - Im assuming that it is . . . The Interior light and boot light are both working. I have checked the TFI connections and ALL fuses and relays. All good. I checked the coil for spark - Its got good spark - I do have a video I was going to put up to ask you guys if it is enough spark and also so you guys can hear what the motor sounds like turning over so that you know what I meant by turning over fast . . . I cant upload it for some reason - its saying its too big . . . Can someone tell me how to put it up please? Also there was no condensation or milky apperance on the oil cap but there is some kinda of white corossion on the water pump pictured below - could that mean that the water pumps corroded from the inside and maybe affecting the timing chain behind it?

no dont worry about the water pump, that belt looks crook too!
we'll have to wait till compression tester perhaps

Ok so today I was told the battery might be rooted and not holdin enough charge - which its not - but still holding enough to start it if it wanted to start
 So after charging the s**t outta the battery last night I put it back in the ef and jumped it from the eb aswell to give it that extra kick - no go  Although the oil pressure gauge was going up the longer I held the key on for - Im not sure wether or not that was happening before but if it wasnt its a good sign i suppose . . . so still on the wait till monday and well see what happens with a compression test . . . Cheers Grant |

Has your coolant level gone done since? Try checking both sides of the engine block to see if there is any obvious oil and/or water leaking from beneath the heads. Where the car is, is there any oil or water where you leave it?

Ill have a better look tomorrow but im pretty sure theres no oil ect there or any water on the ground nut it will be easier tomorrow in daylight . . . Cheers for the reply mate Grant |

Went into supercheap today - dont have $45 for a compression tester - may have to wait to see if any of my mates have one - will update when I have tested compression . . .

Okay... so are you sure you are getting fuel? As in to the rail with pressure? Even if you have a bung injector or 3 it will fire n cough n die rather than just crank over n over. If it was being starved of fuel, running lean it can cause s**t to heat up.
Oil pressure rising the longer you crank is normal too. If you need to check spark just pull out the plugs and watch them spark at night while you turn it over. Or you can just pull off the leads and arc them to the body/motor to check them. Just went n read what EBXR8380 said and your reply to it? How the fk did he check you have fuel pressure when you had no battery in it? |

Hey mate - cheers for the reply Im getting spark theres no doubt about it - checked it a million times . . . As for getting fuel as I said to EBXR8380 I had a mates mate come round whos a mechanic and checked it while I cranked it over so I couldnt really see what he was doing but he said Ive got fuel getting there - and as for checking if I have fuel with no battery - I had the battery in the car to check it but pulled it out to chuck it on charge afterwards . . . |

Even if it had f**k all compression it would kick over and run like a bag of crap.
My bet is ECU or fuel pump (or associated wiring/relays). Could be dizzy/coil but you say you have spark.

If it does happen to be the ECU, can I use an EF XR8 one to replace it or does it have to be EF Fairmont specific? Fuel pump starts up - could it be that there is not enough pressure? |
