sweet_16 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I have a 1998 KA which has been standing for a while. On routines I started it and let it iddle over six months. The other day I tried to start it but the engine did not come alive even though it was turning. On investigating I found that the pump was not even getting energized. Someone suggested reseting the realy which I have searched for without success. Can any one point me in the right direction as to where I can find the cut out and way forward should this be not an issue after all. Again how do I remove the ecu as it seems fixed tight to the passanger side footwell and I can not see how it is mounted there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 i would try the following make sure you have radio code remove charge battery overnight or better still for 24 hours. that way you know the battery is charged t& the ecu will reset it's self & all should fire up otherwise try a new battery if your in a brake down aa rac etc give them a call & they will check battery etc for you it sounds like it maybe a duff battery to me.

mintalkin Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 if you want to check the voltage at the multiplug to the pump. the plug wires are as follows:- Top left = Positive feed pump. Top centre = Fuel level indicator. Top right = Negative feed pump. Bottom left = Fuel level indicator. Bottom right = Earth to fuel pump housing.

There is an inertia fuel cut off switch behind the carpet in front of the R/H door. It sounds like this is what you're looking for. If the button is raised the switch has been activated. Reset by pushing in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on pressing it there is no movement. If the fault is with the ecu how can I reset without emptying my pockets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishpond 47 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 In the fuse box there is a 10 amp fuse on the top row about 4th or 5th from the right (next to it is a 20 or 30 amp fuse on the right) this is for the fuel pump. It dont even show that this fuse is for the fuel pump on the fuse box cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
