I'll check it again. Thing is, the plugs are getting fuel by the looks of it. And when it happened initially there were apparently a couple of flames which again suggest it was getting fuel. But I'll confirm whether the pump have come loose again (I doubt it has though).

I guess it's possible the pump could have come lose when I tookit out to check. But I don't get what's going on here. Never had any issue at all before I changed the pump... Obviously that could be a coincidence. I'm going to take the ecu out and have a look incase anything has burnt out. As for checking everything is connected, what could possibly be disconnected all of a sudden?

It's still bypassed

Jimmer said from looking at the photos it looked like u burnt fuel. So to get home, I unplugged the MAF and, it fired up and limped me home. This seems to me like it's either a fuel pump issue or perhaps something electrical not working. Any ideas?

ANOTHER UPDATE: So, after getting the fuel pump sorted, the car started but ran was horribly mis-firing. So I decided to take all the plugs out to have a look, as they were all black I changed them and put in some old ones that were fine when o took them out. Here the photos of the plugs when they came out Cylinder 1 Cylinder 2 Cylinder 3 Cylinder 4 Cylinder 5 Cylinder 6 When I change the above plugs, the car started and seemed perfect. Do, I took it for a drive and... Broke down again. Had a look at the new plugs that were put in to see what they were like and: Cylinder 1 Cylinder 6 (which was a brand new plug)

Pmsl.

UPDATE Right, I've found the initial problem. Fuel pump. BasIcally it had slipped down the bracket a little and the fuel hose popped off at the top. I've sorted that and the car started. The problem is, it's mis-firing terribly. As if it's only running on a couple of cylinders. Would still be undrivable

Well, its hard without a compressor. Still don't think its that (maybe against my better judgement). However, I think there maybe light at the end of the tunnel. I'll be back

The only other intake / air piping there would be the accordion pipe I would think.

Hope. Struggling to find this air leak. I'm still not convinced it's that to be honest but might be.

My problem is that if I take the turbo outlet pipe off the top of the turbo, that's then where the smoke comes out. Probably need to find something to block the turbo outlet and then see if I can spot anything.

Would be an idea, only problem is, the car has 740cc injectors so would another ecu be ok? Or do you mean to just go ignition on and try the consult port?

It's certainly connected before with the engine off mate

Tried unscrewing and screwing it back in, still nothing. Also that's for the resetting ecu instructions, I forgot to put up that I'd managed to do it last night. The ecu doesn't have the screw so was done by shorting the pins on the consult plug. Might crack the ecu open and see if there's anything glaringly obvious. Still need to check the fuel pump hasn't dislodged or something. I can't even hear it prime when I put the key in

Checked that and the newer coupler is fine... But when I take that pipe off to look, that's then where the smoke comes out haha

What would happen if the ECU was fried. Like is there any tell tale signs etc? Just thinking about the laptop not connecting all of a sudden.

Happy Birthday

You're welcome trish. I've always liked the trust/greddy stuff.

Ok, tried putting some air through using a halfords tire pump since I can't move the car. Couldn't hear nothing. So, put some smoke matches through and sure enough, smoke came out from down near to the drivers side turbo. The problem is that I can't see where. So Im guessing that it could be the accordion pipe. Could it be the turbo itself? I can't hear any air even when I stil some silicone tube down with one end in my ear. The other issue is that I now don't seem to be able to connect to the consult port on my laptop when the car is on but not running and I certainly used to. I tried the wire trick which still flashes the dash with error code 12. I tried taking the ecu out for an hour, error code is still there. I'd have thought that would have reset the ecu. So, I now have the battery unplugged and I'm hoping that will reset the error codes. Anyone else know a manual way to reset the codes?

Wasn't mark derby's like that?

I know. This is a worry. The a guy was trying to connect to it so I hope he's not damaged it. I guess I could just disconnect the battery for a bit or pull the ecu out to reset the codes

Great news

I need to clear the error codes but my laptop doesn't seem to want to connect to the car with the engine not running. Sure it used to.

Nah not yet. Air pressure test time and reset the ecu etc will be done before I even think about that. I don't think the engine would just let go at a gentle 45 mph in 5th gear.

The pump came with the fuel hose mate. I've finally been able to check online as to what fuel I put in and it was petrol sothats now ruled out.
