my ludes been off the road with a coolant leak for some time its not my daily driver so its been sat a while after fixing the coolant leak and many other little things i go to turn her over and she wont fire cant hear the fuel pump priming i also took the fuel rail off injectors out etc. and a new fuel filter maybe ive got air in the fuel system? cant hear the fuel pump priming and im pretty sure im not getting any fuel coming through but about 2 months ago she started just fine im getting spark just no fuel a bit stumped.

Taking the injectors out etc.. should not make a difference.

The only time I have had a starting issue like this was when the earth for the fuel pump was disconnected.

Can you get a feed directly to the fuel pump to see if the fuel pump is working? (Disconnect the fuel line at the rail to see if it pumps anything out... Into a container

).

Otherwise it could be the mains relay or the ignition.

where is the fuel pump relay or pgfi relay drivers side footwell under the fuse cover?

The main relay is behind and underneath where the steering wheel sits.

Here is a link to info on the main relay in the wiki

Also check fuses 2, 3 and 7 in the engine bay fuse box.

That is a good idea about the fuses. ^^ They are foot well fuses.

Fuse 36 in the engine bay fuse box is the PGM-FI system, as well fuse 2 in the foot well
