   Had the car converted to a vts ages ago both mark1.
   ECU was unlocked. But car has been stood for over 3 months with battery disconnected.
   But not the pump wont prime on turn of the key and car wont start at all wont even turn over could the ECU of locked itself again by any chance?

   Can't see the ECU just locking itself, more likely its fuct. But still would be strange if its just been sat. Id look for loose connections, or blown fuses.

   would still turn over if it was locked. when its locked the fuel pump wont prime.

   i know your problem and i can fix it.
   
   attatch a wire to your live on the battery. and touch it to the live on your fuel pump..
   
   you should know where the pump is. if not, its under the back seats under the cap on the drivers side.
   
   any problems message me and ill try and help.

   how would that fix my problem though??
   Well when i turn the key i cant even hear the fuel pump prime, nor does the engine turn over, does nothing at all.
   Only loose wiring is the ones that go to the headlamps and indicators.

   you wasnt clear enough about what the problem was. i just assumed the fuel wasnt priming.
   
   get all wires checks for voltage.
