If you follow the paperclip test, the engine management light should flash, count it/ writing it down usually helps. then post them up here.

Here is a video of the flashes we get after doing paper clip test

[Kevin Wood]

Just a 31 there, so nothing to worry about.

Do you get any flashing lights on the dashboard when you turn it over and does the rev counter needle "kick"?

Try turning it over a few times with the accelerator pushed to the floor and then try again normally. This will clear it if it's flooded.

After that, we need to check the basics. Is there fuel pressure at the fuel rail and is there a spark?

[Maria567]

there is no fuel pressure or spark, the immoblizer light goes out when u unlock car

[MutantCav]

On a very basic level...have you run out of fuel??

[Maria567]

no we not ran out of fuel

[Maria567]

we not getting any spark or fuel pressure but there is fuel in car to feed engine. but fuel does come out if manually done,

Agreed. Might be worth checking the engine management fuse first though. 30A fusible link in the box above the battery terminal IIRC.

...and no flashing from the engine manegement light either

Have you maybe dropped your key,since the last time you drove it?  :-/

when you maybe have dropped it, did the key open up (battery visible)

thats where i was headed, but if your saying it didnt open, then dont see the immob going awol, and still should be in there?? but have a look and see incase the chip is loose inside the fob..

My understanding of Vauxhalls from this era is that if the immobilizer can't find the chip from the keyfob then it will flash the e.m.l.

Do Omega's not do this?

[Brikhead]

...wondered if anyone could help...

Do you hear the fuel pump priming when you first turn on the ignition?
