Glad it mentions the MRC though

Nope fuel pressure gauge read 4 bar for the entirety of it running

OK you have fuel, do you know you have spark is it disappearing and stopping the engine.

To find out if its disappearing I swear by these so I can see what's going on.

I hope this may help

Brand new (less than 500 miles ) Rev C coils fitted, new spark plugs, the fact i had it running for around 50 secs would suggest its firing no problem.

No error codes on OBD2 scanner apart from no comms to ABS, thats obviously coz its not fitted.

OK, So is the engine now keeping running and just lumpy ?

Just a thought, have you been soldering any engine loom connections as I know if they are not just crimped the loom will throw a hissy fit.

Just in case its causing issues, do you still have the ABS unit you can connect back into the wiring loom as these are paired to to ECU.

No solder involved all decent crimps from USA.

Yes I have the abs unit, photo of it on previous posts

Tomorrow I'm ruling out intake by bolting on stock intake in a make shift style 

And then Malcolm will owe me a pint lol

No it wants to die, it won't run unless I blip the throttle

Fuel pressure gauge is seperate to regulator and downstream b4 fuel rails and constant 4 bar. I thought fuel tbh.
Pretty much everything has been verified good.
Car is generating no circuit codes so i think wiring good. just a few u codes lost comms with abs.
Wouldnt mine Jamie swapping ecu and associated  immob stuff from his blue car. A known running ecu.
Car parts were from a non running donor so would rule out ecu ( pcm).

Well Malcolm I owe you a pint !

It ticks over at a steady 2000 rpm

I've have to do a de flood as I turned it off after 10 sec as it needed a clean from grime and there's no vacuum pipes.

But wait !!!! before I reinvent the wheel I've just thought of something ..... hahaha what a twat !

The maf sensor on my original intake set up is mounted back to front. Lollllllllllllll
