Hi everyone

I'm a newbie to wiki Wirral and require some help. I bought a 83 944 for not a lot of money which had been stuck in the back of a warehouse and not ran for 3-4 years. After putting on new
Ignition switch (split in 2)
Fuel pump (seized)
Fuel filter
Drained and put in new fuel
Battery
Fuel pump relay
The car would turn over but not fire as the fuel pump was not getting any power. I put power direct to fuel pump via 12v jump start pack got the pump goin and the car started first time.
I'm no mechanic just a tryer and I'm guessing it could be alarm (wire hanging loose) or immobiliser which has been crudely snipped out.
Could anyone help me out with a auto electrician or someone who knows there way around these motors. They would have to come to me as the car hasn't been on the road since 2004.
Sorry about the essay just want to get all info out, I look forward to hearing from you

can vouch for willo kev he done my alarm on the xr2 and welcome to wiki bro about time

Welcome to wiki mate, nice to see some other car modders on here, keep us updated

Thanks guys. Think willos comin round. Will let u know how we get on. Apparently he did the alarm on my brothers xr2. If he recommends him he must be good.

if it's nothing to do with the alarm check the hall sensor.

Can't be sensor otherwise it wouldn't start with the fuel pump relay (or DME relay) bypassed

d'oh, my bad. forgot it only fires once when it's a dicky sensor.

Willo sorted it. Re wired fuel pump and re did immobiliser top bloke. Highly recommended thanks wiki Wirral.
Now I can carry on with jobs for a spring mot I'll let u know how I get on.

Warms the cockles of your heart to find someone near to help - well done boys.

defo did not warm my cockles, it was bloody freezing

Cheers for helping him willo

No problem, I love a challenge

I have a bigger challenge if you are after one but it's not a car it's a caravan the 12v electrics don't work properly

ANY Further on this mate?

Just to let you guys know put her in for MOT on sat and fail on insufficient water squirting on window screen and fog lights not working.
So willow was called in to sort fog lights and I gave the water pipes and jets a good clean took it back in and have now got the MOT.
Happy days. Still a long way to go put going in the right direction.

Getting there then bro

Nice 1 mate
