Hello,

It sounds like you have a crankshaft angle sensor that is no good which will cause the fuel pump not to kick on as well as the ignition spark failure.

Here is a guide that will help you see what you are in for when changing the sensor out.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
