Hi all, Doing some home repairs on the car, changed the head gasket, and the car won't start afterwards. The starter motor does not crank when I turn the key and no fuel is getting to the injectors.
So, to cover the other stuff... I've checked the timing, I've made sure fuel is getting to the pump, I've run a wire from the starter solenoid to the battery and the engine turns over but does not start, I've opened the fuel injector pipes to let air out of the system, so far nothing. I even looked for the fuel cut-off switch mentioned on petrol cars but there isn't one.
I would run a wire to the fuel solenoid but it's inside the fuel pump housing and I can't reach it, I'd by-pass it but I don't know which of the three thin wires I'd need to bypass.
I suspect the immobiliser has activated for some reason because that's the only thing I can think of that would stop both the starter motor and the fuel cut off solenoid from working while everything else works fine.
Any help, thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
