I realy striped my cabby back to weld and paint,i put the icv up side down :roll: (right now)and i removed the fuel lines to the fuel rail and found the pressurized side pluged in to rail not the fuel reg,so my question is ,from the fuel pump thru the filter to the reg is corect yes?because it ran first time and then idle got faster,so turned off and carryed on assambling the car,the ecu wasnt bolted up and removed dead blue temp switch(nicked the switch for my daily)and put in a spare.and now it turns over but wont start.bummer :roll:

If the engine is turning over, there's nothing wrong with the gearbox inhibitor switch.

What engine is it?
