So today I have redone the entire loom. Its a lot tidier than it was before and managed to strip out a few more wires.
Car started up first time. Lots of smoke from the exhaust manifold as it was burning off all the fuel that had flooded the engine.
To check the previous problem i wiggled the power relay and the car continued to run...
I then wiggled the ECU and the car cut out.
Started it up again and fuel pump and injectors were stuck open.
Wiggled the ECU and started again and started no problems.
Wiggled the ECU a small amount and it started to stutter and then caught again.
So it does run... and i think ive narrowed the problem down to the ECU socket. The car runs completely normally when it does work so i really do think its the socket and not the ecu itself. More investigation tomorrow!
