Hi there. I have an issue related to my fuel pump relay on Vauxhall 1.6 B. Engine turns over but does not start. When I remove the plastic cover from the relay I can see that it does not engage. Have swapped over the relay and the fuse box, but still does not start. Engine management light stays on. Only starts if I manually hold the metal part of the relay together as to manually engage it. Any ideas? Only possible causes are engine washed (my bad) and I unplugged the switch/plug that goes to the injectors while the engine was running. Drove fine after the engine wash. Only stopped starting after I unplugged the connector going to spark plugs
Well the first thing to check, are you getting spark? You swapped over the fuse box? That would need coding to the ecu. The coil is controlled by the ecu aswell, is there any water damage there or green crusties. Check all the connections that you unplugged for water ingress. Definitely check the ecu. Do a pedal test aswell.
@@drivewaydiyer6504 Hi Thanks for super prompt reply. Sorry bit of a novice - how do I check for spark. Changing the fuse box didnt require any programming. Didnt see any water damage on ecu or any green. Will check connectors tomorrow. What is a pedal test? Last resort is send off my ecu to get it cloned but dont feel too comfortable with that or 100 sure how it works.
@@ishaqfazal1719 to test for spark, pull out the coil, plug the connector back in. Get a test light attach it to ground and hold it close to the coil stem and get someone to crank it. See if there’s any spark
hi mate very nice video. just quick question plz if you could help me. i had issue today with my vauxhall zafira tourer 2017 turbo engine, the car didnt start and RAC said fuel pump was seized unseized it vehicle starts and runs ok advised to get battery fully recharged and get fuel system fully checked. any advice or tip what i should do at home before taking to garage?
Not really much more you can do, sometimes fuel pumps can jam up, could be a one off. Check fuse box for any water ingress or signs of crust or bad contacts. Might be worth doing a pedal test aswell. Definitely worth getting it checked out though.

Hi would you no if a zafira b has a oil cooler if so we're is it on a 1.6 thanks
I believe so and it’s part of the oil filter housing.
