richard cash Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 When i turn the ignition on should i be able to hear the fuel pump on? I have dissasembled my dash ready to take the whole lot out. I have now realised i need to turn the car around so i turned on the ignition but i cant hear the pump. I have plugged the dash harness back in on both sides but havent bothered plugging in the clocks etc. The engine cranks when i turn the key but it doesnt fire at all. Anyone able to help?? rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the plugs on the back of the clocks is a way of joining some of the wires together so you may well have to have it plugged in.

and1c Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Have you unplugged any immobiliser related stuff? Surely it would be easier to get a few mates round and push the car? or is it a steep hill or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Unrelated, but because you have turned the ignition with the dash etc unplugged you may find that the airbag lights will stay on. Thats if you have a Supra with an airbag. Saves you starting another thread asking why it stays lit. Do a search, there is a fix for it.
