hi guy my I’ve been on a trip @ double island and rainbow beach and on the way back to camp the car lost all power and died and now will not start.
Things that are not working that i know of:
-Fuel pump
-Coil Pack (no spark)
Could there be something wrong with the computer i had a blown 20amp fuse changed it but it made no difference.
Any help greatly appreciated

where was the 20amp fuse?
have u checked the fuseable link near the battery if it has one?
and yes a possible to the ecu.
any fault codes?

the 20amp fuse is between the ecu and battery.
the fault light hasnt started at all so no fault codes.

have u got the fault light connected / installed?
if so you have to bridge the connector to get it to show a code as such.

check you ECU and MAIN relays, you might have a faulty relay

Take your dissy cap off and crank the motor - just make sure that the dissy is spinning. Sounds silly, I know, but we once spent 5 hours trying to troubleshoot "electrical problems" on a 1.6 EFI that wouldn't run only to find out it was the timing belt that broke.
Just a thought.
I'd also investigate the fuel pump.

hey guys thanks for the help
nic i bridged the connection to find a code 52 Fuel system fault
so i looked into the fuel pump removed and connected it up to the battery and it ran then put it all back togeather and still didnt start so i hot wired the fuel pump to the battery and it started!!!! so it ended up being a faulty connection.
now all i have to do is replace original coolant fan as the termo fan is stuffed (due to losing all its baldes and messing up my nice radatior
)
and fix up my fuel tank which has been punctured
but i guess thats what i get for doing a rally cross through a badly corrogated dirt/pothole/washed out dirt road but it was great fun
