Corsa not getting fuel?

    I have a 2000 Corsa 1.0 16v that wont start. The problem is there is no fuel coming from the pump. The pump is working fine as I checked it. The car is also turning over and sparking. Sometimes there is a rapid clicking from the fuel relay which I have also changed. Anyone know what else might stop the fuel? Sensor maybe?

    Badly fouled fuel filter maybe.

    No the light isn't flashing. It started a few times and the management light wasn't on.

    I know you say the pump is running but I do no the pumps give a lot of trouble on the corsa maybe it isn't putting out the correct pressure or pumping at all.

    Not yet. Would it work if the car isn't starting and does it matter if engine management light isn't on.

    Yes it would work just once the ignition is turned on. And the engine management light doesn't have to be on for there to be faults saved in the ecu.

    The next thing u have to do is get the car scanned and write down the faults that are saved. With our doing that no one can even hazard a guess what would be wrong with the car honestly that has to be your next step

    I can hear one clicking which i believe is the fuel pump but I wonder what is the other purple relay. They are the exact same.

    crankshaft sensor maybe?
