Hi guys another problem :(. I've recently finished ripping my dash out and engine to re-spray the engine bay and everything, re-charged my battery, and plugged it all back in from where it came from

My problem is the car ticks over but wont fire up (lack of fuel possibly?). When i turn the key all the igniton lights come on but the engine light goes out like normal, there is no humming noise as if the fuel is being pumped.

Thank you for your help :)

Just an update on problem if this helps...

I checked the fuse in the engine bay and it was blown, replaced it and my step dad said it was blowing when i turned the ignition off, any ideas?

sounds like you have a short in your wiring. Time to follow your wires and look for a short or something not hooked up to the right place. Not a fun job!

make sure you have all your grounds hooked up
