Guys, I could really do with some help please, I'm having problems getting my Puma started.
There is a weird problem with the fuse box. With the ignition on, if you touch the first relay (for the ECU) you hear the relay click and I think it then restarts the ECU, you hear a whirring sound by the engine (like a priming or resetting of something), it also causes the speedo clock etc to do their reset procedure, this happens anytime I touch this this relay, it even did it as I took the fuse box lid off - this can't be normal? I think there is a fault somewhere in this fuse box, maybe bad connections or damaged wire - I guess I'll have to remove and examine. Anyone with any ideas on this or had anything similar? Is it easy to remove the fuse box??
It started fine on the previous journey but on the way home the engine momentarily cut out for a second or two but came back to life and the rest of the journey was fine. The ignition comes on and I get all the normal lights on the dash, the immobiliser goes off (according to the red LED on the clock), the engine turns over fine (battery is fine) but it does not fire. I can hear the fuel pump prime and have fuel to the injector rail, there is a spark at the plugs. I have changed the TPS, MAF and ICV, I have checked the fuel inertial switch and its okay, I have checked all the fuses and they are fine, I have reseated the earth wires to the body near the front suspension top and by the inertial switch and check for any faulty wires by the transponder too. I have swapped the two relays from my lighting with the fuel pump and ecu positions, they all appear to be working.
I would be hugely grateful for some further ideas to try please.
