Help! fueling problems..
all the plugs are dry. when you turn the key and the fuel pump primes the engine will sometimes just try to fire but wont run. i took out the plugs and syringed a little fuel into each cylinder, it fired up straight away and ran all of 2 seconds till it burnt it all
so theres no fuel coming through! the pump is noisy, fair loud buzzing sound from it, but only when you turn the key on and off.
so is it duff?
cheers

Ideally, connect a fuel pressure gauge and see what the system pressure is when its cranking. Are you sure the fuel pump is running when the car is turning over (start position on ignition switch)?

the fuel pump goes for about a 2 second run before the engine is cranked over, i cannot hear it going when the engine is turning, then when i stop cranking and turn the key back it comes on again like it does before hand.

You need to check if the fuel pump is running during cranking. Rig up a voltmeter if needs be, or lean over and get your head close to it while turning the key.
