Got home this evening and since the air was moist I thought I would give the car a try. As it wouldn't start I thought I would try some of the suggestions above. First was to run an earth from the engine to the battery, but nothing. Second was gearbox to battery - nothing, so third was mounting bracket holding relays etc to battery - again nothing. Could there still be a dodgy earth somewhere inside the car behind the dash?
Next I turned my attention to the spark. This turned up an interesting result: When I first switched on the ignition, there was a single spark, but when I cranked the engine, there was nothing. I kept repeating it and every time I switched on the ignition I got a single spark.
I know from the noid light that I am not getting a fuel pulse. I am convinced that there is a simple fault which will be easy to fix. Trouble is, I can't find it!
For the record, when the engine is cranking the EML goes out.
