last time i went round we checked for a spark and it was strong, you can smell and hear the fuel coming thru and the ecu gave a code 44
i'll take a spare ecu or 2 round next time and see if that works?

Jake? Is someone coming down this weekend to pickup a Sunny ZX?

If so I'm coming with, and could look at the car for you? Could be one of those things that takes hours to solve, but a start is better than nothing.

I'd be wary of a mechanic saying the ecu is faulty - usually means they have run out of ideas in my limited experience.

I tried everything to get my engine to start only after taking out the plugs and borrowing a mates car and test ing each plug with a lead from the running engine did i find the problem..if they are soaked in fuel and fouled up they wont start even if you take out the fuel pump fuse and crank it all day.
Heat the plugs with a blowtorch or in an oven if they dont spark in the right place

i have tryed two ecu's but still no luck. i have had the spark plugs out seems that there is no fuel coming through to them. so i think may be fuel pump but the ecu says every thing is fine think may have to ring a garge as need the car back on the road
