Car won't start - help

[speedsnake74]

Hi guys
I've been driving thus car every day for 6 months with no hassle
It's a 320 1990
Jumped in and drove to the fuel station
Filled it up
Came out and started it
Went to pull away and it cut out
Car is totally standard
I've checked so far
Fuses relays
Big plug under the inlet manifold
I have fuel at the rail
It's not imobiliser as that gives you no dash light and no turn over where as now she spins over just fine but no go
And no I did not put diesel in it ;)
Anyone got any clues

[speedsnake74]

Ive got power at the coil

[speedsnake74]

Ah hang on
I have spark at plugs
Double checked fuel rail and no fuel at that point

[speedsnake74]

Ok
I havenpower at the pump
I have removed fuel pump from tank
I have contencted the pump direct to the battery with some speaker cable and it just makes a very slight clunk
No whirr....
Anything I can do with the Pump or has it just died ?

Now on a bus across London to where my other 320 is to rip the pump out of that one and then bus it back to fit the replacement and cross my fingers that gets me Rollin again !

Bud location may of helped, did you ask at the petrol station if they provide a breakdown service. My local tesco petrol station used to. Was a few years back though.
Best of luck fella and hopefully your last bus ride.

Ha - I doubt it, they even angry at for using one of there 20 parking spaces
Elephant and castle soooowf London init.
2 pumps in my backpack and back on the bus....
If this does the trick it's snetterton or bust

[TouringTash]

Brave man around that part of London with metal objects in a back pack, just don't jump any barriers

[speedsnake74]

Oh yeah
Never thought of that
3 screwdrivers on board and yep jumped a barrier at the big roundabout to get the first bus !!!

[TouringTash]

Just don't run. A brave thing to do around the elephant, but with the heygate on its last legs it should be safe to walk.

.......

[speedsnake74]

Yeah baby
I'm not running but the car is
Classic fuel pump failure
Today im thankful for three things
1. Keeping my toolkit in the boot
2. Having a spare e30 stashed in battersea
3. Tash keeping me company on the bus !

Cheers mate

I'm getting the fuck out of here !

Don't throw the faulty pump fella it may be salvageable.

Good to see a zoner sorting out an issue without needing 'advice' from 24 other zoners

Mission accomplished, well done.
