Can't find the pump. The filter is under the rear should I undo the fuel line here to test flow.

Im guessing cranks but no fire...
check basics, like spark at a few leads, If its been sitting for a few years with the pump emersed in old fuel, it can damage the pump quite quick when you first go to use it again. Pump in in the tank, its mounted on the sender unit, access is through a plate under the boot carpet

If your getting the letter "t" come up on the instrument cluster, then turn the key to ACC, leaving it 30 seconds to a minute, then turn the key off. Once you've done that try starting it again and see how is goes.

I have seen the letter T in the display and didn't realise that would prevent it starting. One concern I had was the computer losing memory as it was flash tuned about seven years ago but I have got a spark and cleaned the plugs on the right hand bank.

Tried again this morning. The letter T has gone but no go. I'll try an ECU reset.

Does the starter motor at least crank the engine over?
A little more info and we can narrow it down a little more

Can you hear the fuel pump priming? You can usually hear it from the drivers seat, otherwise stick ya head in the boot and have someone turn the key on without starting it. should hear the pump run.

Can't hear anything. I wonder if I take out the pump if I could free it up. But I guess I'll have to cut the silicone seal in the boot to get to it.

if you got a test light check that your gettin power at the pump.
They can die for no reason. My EF died while I was sitting at the lights.
