    She no go.....

    Hi all
    I have a 97 4.6 that turns over but won't start. No errors on dash showing. What can I start checking without a diagnostic device.
    Is there an easy way to check fuel flow, or if fuel pump is working?

    Anyone got a portable code thingy that could drop in and hook up? I am in Perth northern suburbs.

    Any mobile mechanics that anyone recommends for rr's.

    Cheers
    Kev

    Sorry, this was meant to be in the p38 thread.

    Can you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on?

    If yes, there's a schrader valve on the fuel rail where you can hook up a gauge. If you don't have a gauge, then carefully push in the valve & fuel should squirt out. If it just dribbles (or less) then you have a fuel pressure issue & more than likely a dead pump.
