    Hey guys,

    Looking for a little help in diagnosing my 1997 MGF 1.8mpi Non-VVC not starting.

    The other week I was driving when suddenly the engine died so I pulled to the side of the road and it wouldn't restart, so far I've narrowed it down to not getting fuel.

    So some key points:
    - Turns over but doesn't start
    - I have spark, but I have changed the HT leads, distributor cap & rotor anyways as these were looking a little old, the spark plugs are also less than 1000kms old.
    - Tried pushing in the inertia switch, also bypassing made no change.
    - Would fire with a spray of easy start but immediately die again.
    - Changed the crank sensor, no change.
    - Fuel pump seems to be working, I can hear it going when ign is on.
    - Fuel filter is nearly new, and isn't blocked, I pulled the outlet line and fuel comes out when ign on.

    My next step is to purchase a set of noid lights to check if the injectors are getting a pulse signal.
    I'd assume they're not getting a signal as if they were, surely the car would start? And if they're not, what would the next step be?

    Couple of things I'm thinking it could be:
    - Fuel pressure low (any easy way to test this?)
    - ECU/Immobiliser
    - Injectors stuffed (if one was stuffed, would that affect them all?)

    I do have a T300 programmer tool but for whatever reason I can't get it to connect, I've only used it to program key fobs in the past.

    This is pretty new to me and I'm learning as I go so any help would be appreciated.
