I've a ford puma, 00 reg. The car won't start and there's no power to the plugs. A new coil and ignition sensor has just been fitted, yet there's still no power.

Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Sounds like it could be the crankshaft sensor. Is it a 1.4, 1.6 or 1.7?

It's a 1.4, but there is a new crankshaft sensor fitted.

depending upon manufacturer and model, the immobiliser wont necessarily stop the engine turning over

Does the immobiliser stop the pump from working because the fuel pump still works?

its probably not the immobiliser then as it would stop fuel and spark.

When I disconnect the immobiliser from the steering wheel and I switch on the ignition the pump works.
