   Ya I did, had to take it out to "shake" it,
   
   
   How could I check to see if power is going to the pump? As I have checked all the fuses?

   Also just to note, I did not have an alternator on before and the lead hit off the body of the car, a big spark came off it, since that the pump didn't work
   
   Ps. I am only being told this now by my dad!

   Just a question, I have a locked ecu, it I connect that back up again with the same black immboliser box, turn the fuel pump on, will the car start, if so can I unlock the ecu by removing the box when the car is ticking over?
   
   Thanks

    To my understanding, yes... but the car MUST be running and the immobiliser box then unplugged. Once this is don't you have unlocked your ecu. To re-lock it, so to speak, I think you reattach the immobiliser box with the engine running again.
