Does it have an in tank fuel pump? If so you should be able to hear it run for a second or so when you turn the ignition on, if it has and it doesn't, that could be your trouble.

You really need the fault codes read with a 'Lexia' diagnostic machine, if you go on to the 'French Car Forum' you may find someone near you has one.

It sounds as though the injectors are not opening, could be due to a faulty crankshaft/camshaft sensor.

You really need to know the actual fuel rail pressure before going any further.There needs to be a minimum of 150 bar before the engine will even attempt to fire up.hth

hi ,thanks for your help .the engine is RHY , the fuel pressure thats coming from the the rail is only from the lift pump in the tank .its going straight through the high pressure pump .i think the high pressure pump may have broken up inside and isnt creating any pressure .is that possible?.also i dont think the cam sensor would stop the main pump from working .thanks ray.
