hi all ,hope you can help me . i went to work and car ran fine came to it after work and again started and ran great. Then while on the way home i lost all power and the car came to stop in middle of a island (not good )
  After looking at it i have found that there is no fuel getting through when i press the pressure release valve. The car will try and turn over but not start . 
     The relays only make a noise once then nothing unless i take them out and back in again
    Fuel pump not buzzing when ignition switches on
 Any ideas of what this could be as im back at work later and going devon in 2 weeks .
 thanks alot . really need to get this sorted asap..

Have you checked fuse #18 in cabin :question
Spanner light on :question

[mick-1975]

spanner light did come on i checked them earlier but ill double check now for u

[freecall666]

if fuse fine would check the electrics plug above the tank, faling that motor may have gone.

[mick-1975]

checked fuse all ok
 checked coonector above tank and all is good
 i have tried a test light to the pump to see if light comes on and its dead. do u know which one is the live wire as thinking off a direct feed from a battery to see if it works .

If the spanner light is staying on, need to get codes read, possibly an 0335. Any spark at the plugs :question No fuel, no spark = crank sensor

[mick-1975]

got o obd2 tester from local shop and does not show crank sensor at all .
 can the crank sensor cause all this with fuel problems as well

Faulty crank sensor doesn't always throw a fault code.
Your fuel problems could be result of bad crank sensor - as RobG says above "No fuel, no spark = crank sensor" - check spark at plugs mate.

[mick-1975]

ill check them now then and get back to u all

had this problem on a 2.0 16v ecotec cavalier a few years ago.same symptons as your having,diagnosed as crank sensor,swopped it and away it went..:@)

[mick-1975]

been back out and checked spark and guess what
  i have a spark at all 4 plugs .
  so what now ??

  NO FUEL.... BUT SPARK

[freecall666]

check volts at pump if volts, then pump gone..

[mick-1975]

tryed to use a test light and nothing not even a sound when ignition turned on .
  doing my head in as need it for work

Fuel pump easy enough to change on an estate. Cheap ish too, 'bout £50 iirc.

Being an auto, could it be the selector switch? :-/

Fuel pump relay's are quite common failure items on Vx's, I think there the red/purple ones located under the bonnet.
