Thanks for all the input I have been away and have not been able to look into the car until this morning. Had a mobile mechanic I know drop by with his scan tool to check for codes and he found c1260 and c1611. Could either of these faults immobilise the car from starting.Power steering issues wondering if the cars computer stops it from starting as a safety measure.

Failsafe is vehicle speed set to 40KPH. Possible cuases it suggests bad harness, open or short cct or bad ECM. I guess a bad ECM could mean no engine management.C1260 steering angle sensor cct, not going to stop the car ESP lamp would be on. were these codes current or history
I dont see any clear relationship between the fuel problems and later non performance... The steering codes occur if you get battery failure or 12v line dropout.ESP etc is not going to stop the engine starting.I tend to think bad connection from or around the ECUThe ECU and Battery are near the fuel filter. So that is a stating point.

So that is a stating point.Yeah i figured it was a long shot the codes might show a reason why i only cranks. Afew weeks ago I had to replace the battery so that may account for them. The fuel filter has 3 plugs into it one being the water contaminate alert. what are the other two.....im just wondering as you have to disturb them when changing filter...???
Dont forget I need Hyundai's for dummies
Ok I guess locating a good ecu is on the cards...starting to get to the point beyond my skill level

Twice.!!!! Where did you get it? Could it be still there, or there again?If it was a crap supplier did he also supply diesel bug?In that case fuel sensors on rail and HP pump could be contaminated. = car will not start.Also pick up in tank will be cloggedThe codes related to steering could simply be related to long periods of cranking. Have had that happen occasionally.

Have had that happen occasionally. @nzenigma I was just thinking , would there be any point removing the supply and return lines at the motor end and hooking up some clear tubing and then run diesel straight from a container? I have run diesel purge like that through one of mine.WHich sensors are we talking about specifically? Rail pressure is showing normal 25 - 30 Mpa so I think that sensor is ok, not sure about the pump.
Sorry, just went back to original post, its an FD!!!! May have an ECU.
