I haven’t been able to start the car for a couple of weeks now and I cant figure out why. Two things I have done that might have affected this 1) I removed the resonator from the intake and maybe disturbed something 2) I let rain get in the engine bay (yes I know Im an idiot already!)
 
I have checked the following:
 
- I checked all the vacuum hoses, connectors etc and seem to be intact. On cranking it is totally dead, doesnt cough or splutter at all.
 
- It has spark and will splutter a bit with' start you b*stard', but otherwise it wont give any sign of life at all besides cranking.
 
- I bridged Fp and +B on the diagnostic port, cant hear fuel running through the rail or the fuel pump running in the fuel tank.
 
- I have powered the fuel pump via the connector and can definitely hear it running in the tank.
 
- I have checked all the relays and they seem to be functioning properly.
 
- No fault codes via the check engine light
 
So it seems there is no power getting to the pump. Im pretty sure though that I cant hear fuel through the rail either when I power the pump, but it’s a bit hard when my wife is nagging in my ear while I ask her to help me with this stuff. I could replace the fuel filter and do all the tests in the manual but before I do I think I need to focus on the issue with the pump.
 
Any suggestions (besides getting rid of the nagging wife)?

Pull off the return line and check whether you are getting fuel through the rail. Try it first manually bridging the pump to make sure its working at all, then if that works see whether it works through the ignition.

have you tried to start the engine with the fuel pump FP bridged to B+ in the diagnostic port?
 
as you say when bridged you can hear the pump run. so try cranking it. if it does start then it definitely is a power issue with the FP control circuit. if it doesn't still then its something else.
 

Sorry my post might be confusing wiso. Yes I have tried to start with bridged diagnostic port but it doesn't start. When bridged I cannot I repeat cannot hear the pump run. Hope that makes sense

If you let rain get in the engine bay the spark plug holes may be full of water.  Compressed air should blow it all out.  If you don't have a compressor a bike pump might do the job.

sorry this bit here must have got me confused.
 
But if you definitely CAN'T hear the pump when the FP and B+ in the diagnostic is bridged then thats bad. as that will be direct feed power to pump. so unless the wire has been cut somewhere between the Circuit opening relay and the pump, or you have a connector unplugged...? in the AW the fuel pump connector is near the opening into the engine bay. 
 
if you have a multi meter check to see if the B+ has 12v. Ignition on of course. I know if its an engine conversion sometimes those diagnostic ports aren't wired up
 
Other possibility is maybe a ground that the FP uses is disconnected? on the 3S I don't know which ground point the fuel pump is. you were playing with manifold, is there a ground on those manifolds?
 
 

RED the car has spark, plug wells are dry

Wiso the pump connector can be accessed in front of the gearshift and can be accessed easily so I provided power to the pump direct and it runs. Good idea with checking grounds and diagnostic. Will give that a go.

Shoot me a message on my mobile tomorrow mate, I may have a few ideas for you

+B has 12volts? if not check fuses
if it has get a multimeter
check connectivity of the FP wire in engine bay all the way to pump terminal under dash
and check connectivity of the other pump terminal to ground
 

Thanks to all for the advice so far. I have done some more investigations, bear with me as Im fairly inexperienced when it come to the black art of electrics!
 
I checked the circuit between Fp and +B and it read 2.4 volts, whereas the circuit between TE1 and E1 on the diagnostic box read 12 volts. When I created a circuit between +B and the ground point (EA on the wiring diagrams) behind the diagnostic box I got 12 volts. The fuses (the three in the fuse box in the engine bay) are fine and as far as Im aware the relays are fine.
 
I also checked the voltage on the fuel pump terminal, there was no voltage at all (there is voltage to the fuel level sender terminal). So there lies the problem. How do I check connectivity from Fp to pump terminal? I dont know how to follow this through end to end and which route to follow i.e. is it the wire harness through the grommet roughly centre of the firewall or on the harness on the passenger side?
 
Also, the wiring diagrams I have show a ground point (IC on the wiring diagrams) just to the left of the heater control in the centre console but I cant see one. Is this right or does it matter?
