    confused car wont start.

    have a prob with my 2006 1.8vvti.
    it just stopped running and would not start again.
    checked timing belt, its ok.
    i changed the coilpack and still no joy.
    i do think the engine is getting a spark ok.
    i just put £30 petrol in it, so its not that.
    i removed the excess cover under the back seat to get at the fuel pump and i cant hear it when i try to start it.
    i also removed the fuel line to the injector rail and turned it over and no fuel coming out of it.
    i think its the pump??
    do you think im right or is their anything else i should check before i replace it?????

    Certainly sounds like a dead tank pump.... I too would be checking fuses first.

    i just fitted new engine a few months ago with new belt,
    surely you would hear the fuel pump prime itself on turning the key,
    i had the back seat out and excess plate off but cant hear or feel anything coming from the pump,
    is their anyway to test the pump without removing it???????
