Vitara 1997 8v which wont start (wont inject fuel)

Hi everybody,

Im wondering if anybody could be of any help? I am close to pulling my hair out.

So I started my vitara and drove it out of the drive then turned it off..... wont start again. I have a check engine light flashing but cant get a computer (OBD2) to read it any suggestions?

The problem I have found that it is not injecting fuel into the throttle body. there is no pulse voltage from the ecu to the throttle body. I have tried another working ecu and key for the immobiliser but as soon as I turn the key the engine light is still flashing. the ECU has the lives and earths it needs.

It is baffling as I only turned it off and now it wont start.

Anyone who could help me in anyway will be greatly appreciated.

James.

i changed the ECU and removed the pick up ring and put the key for the ecu in that pick up ring?

that wont work without changing the imobilizer unit as that is coded to the key & ecu
