And all it was was the pick up in the fuel pump/cradle was blocked. So cleared it all out and shes going good haha
So it sounds like a fuel pressure gauge would have helped reduce the time to diagnose the problem.

Thought I'd give an update on this. Cars been running sweet since I sorted out its issues. But as per usual more appear but these ones are easily fixed.

And I'll have plenty of time to fix them as I recently lost my licence for 6 months haha.

Time to save up and upgrade/mod the car some more haha

Soon lol.

Got licence back today so started sorting out my car to take it for a wof. Unfortunately my alarm has other ideas and wont work. Cant lock/unlock, no flashy led indicator and I cant start it. Yay.

Its a Dynatron D7800, the remote led constantly flashes when I put the key in the ignition as well

Honestly not trying to sound stupid but ive had 12.2volts in my car and car wont start and mine ended up being the battery.
If you test and swap it or even hook the car up with another using jumper leads/cables and start the other car giving your legnum some power, it might do the trick.

Im just guessing here that its the battery but I have a feeling it is to be honest

The alarms immobilisers is stopping it from starting.

I put in another battery and same thing.

Have power to everything bar dash & possibly alarm (since theres no flashy LED)

Reading up on the alarm it might be possible that its go into pin override mode...

I assume moisture has an effect on alarms? Lol



Edit:
Never mind, all internal wiring is moisture free.

Indicators and windows don't work, lock/unlock works on drivers door.

Now remote isnt flashing like before. I think my alarm has died?

Edit:

Had boot open so it didnt start the pin override. So with drivers door open my alarm goes into the pin override sequence.

Nah thats fine. Alarm wants a pin which I dont have and theres no way of getting it and Dynatron cant help since it wasnt registered and its out of its warranty (by 7-8yrs lol)

Was planning on getting a new alarm installed, never got around to it lol

Turns out alarm is shot. I unplugged it all and connected what needs to be connected to start the car. Car started but the alarms turbo timer has deactivated, bottom dash lights are on all the time and the car wont turn off without pulling the engine fuse

Here's the bugger thats been giving me issues. I think this alarm came with a couple of different boxes, since the gps is in a different box behind the stereo and I assume the turbo timer is somewhere else since I traced back the wires and get get to where they are.

Might need to go to the extreme and take the dash out lol
