    Have you made any changes to the car for this to happen?

    Try changing the fuel pump relay under the ecu.

    you say you've changed the fuel injection relay twice but have you checked the engine fuse box for any blown fuses blown?

    This is just an idea and whether haynes is right or not as i've found in the past some info in there is really misleading but anyway

    According to the wiring diagram (attached) the live (brown) to the pump is fed first from the ECU to the lambda sensor and then onto the engine fusebox, a blue wire feeds onto the fuel pump from engine fuse box, see the diagram for further details, i'd say its worth checking out this area to see if there's any blown fuses and also check to see if you've got any fraying wires that maybe short-circuiting it hope this helps abit:

    cheers for the wiring diagram mate, im gonna take the multi meter home tonite and test each wire for power to hopefully find the dud wire to which ill then replace it

    Found the problem the wire going from fuse 9 to the pump must have a break in it, so ive fitted my own wire and its perfect again

    nice thought that would come in handy much easier than trying to explain it
