car ran out of fuel bout 4 month ago and it has been sat down my drive till now...... I have put 15 litres of petrol in it and turned the key but it wont start i could not hear the fuel pump kick in so i checked the relay and it was knackered
i have now put a new relay in, but the car still wont start
its a converted sri its a x16xel
on my other corsa when you turn the ignition on the eml light comes on then once engine is started it goes off but on my sri [ the one that wont start] the eml light does not come on with the ignition - dont know if this is out to do with it
essay finished hope you guys can help Cheers

think i will go have a play with this? bit concerned about the eml not coming on but i suppose that could be a blown bulb
is there any way around these stupid transponder rings apart from cellataping the chip to the ring

I aint a clue mate tbh, the EML light might just be due to the chip and transponder not connecting

Still got problems and i made it worse
every fuse is fine i have checked them with a multimeter for continuety, but now when i turn the key all i can hear is the starter motor whining very loud and engine doesnt even turn over
so problem now is eml wont come on when ignition is turned on and engine wont turn over Hope to god i aint burnt out the dispack
Edit - ARE ALL THE FUSES LOCATED IN THE CAR OR ARE THERE MORE ELSEWHERE

It sounds like you have drained thew battery down.
I belive the eml is also controled by a relay!?

Dont see how this will work if the engine management disables the fuel pump

brown relay sounds about right, sounds as if you aren't getting power to the ecu tbh

Dont know what to check tbh as it all worked fine a couple of months back and now the ecu has either given up or the electrics are buggered

Hmm that powder is corrosion which isn't good try and find a water dispersant like wd40 (but not wd40 preferably as ironically its water based) and spray the ecu multi plug pins then connect and disconnect it a few times to brighten up the terminals.
ECU power and the eml are linked for sure! Do you have an fuses/relays under the scuttle panel drivers side near the brake fluid reservoir?

Well WD40 would do, i tend to use wurth ultra 20-40. Just go into a car accessory shop and ask for a product to remove moisture from an electrical plug.
