Thanks will check but still cannot get EML to flash codes just stays on ..it used to work so that isn't helping!!

Success ..the car seemed to fix itself before I checked the fuel pump power.

I thought I would look at pink relays for injector and pump.
They get warm quickly ..I removed the one nearest battery and it gives me exact same fault and EML will not flash on peddle test.

So it would seem it's a dodgy relay.

Where's the best place to get correct spares .

I hope that's it fixed now ..also with relay removed TC light stays on!!

I am also looking for camcorder gasket fir 2.2 facelift petrol.

CAN I SAY THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE HELPED ME!!
Jimbob is a true gent on every respect

GM only... not worth messing with second hand... have personally replaced them on 5 cars... incidentally all 3.2s

Bit late to the party but I had similar on a 2.6 and fuel relay was at fault. I have a couple knocking round somewhere but maybe new is best, I have a good autobox selector switch if it still plays up

[Jimbob]

Excellent news, will watch with interest if that fixes it permanently

Does anyone know if EM relay controls all engine functions including power to plugs..I assume not as when I remove this relay it still sparks when cranked but fuel will not pump down fuel line ..this produces same fault I had that so spanner wouldn't flash just stayed on and wouldn't do pedal test.

I am going to change both relays ..I looked in EM relay and there's a resistor or diode in base which I think is switch to operate coil in relay ..it looks uncooked but would imagine it all gets hot in there near engine for 15 years!!

One purple relay controls fuel pump, tother controls injectors. Neither have any say whatsoever in whether it sparks or not

probably a diode (or maybe a varistor) to prevent voltage spikes from frying the output transistors in the ECU (assuming the relays are switched by the ECU)
