Annoying thing is, it was running fine when I parked it up a couple of years ago.
I was hoping I could just put a battery on it and it would run again.
Syncmate or a Nanocom but the Nanocom will be worth more than the car.

I thought no sync meant no spark?BECM lost sync with ECM.

Still learning here
I noticed a couple of people mention this when I was searching threads. How do I get them to sync again?
I would love to get it running again but it's getting close to just putting the forklift underneath it to move it.
If it's turning over and has spark, then check fuel system is actually getting something. Pump should prime the system as soon as you turn the key.
If you have fuel pressure in the rails, then get a Noid Light to confirm the injectors are firing. Alternatively get a cheap circuit tester from Halfrauds. In both cases you should see flashing light when the injectors are firing. Take all the spark plugs out while checking the injectors, so the engine turns easily, plus you then get loads of oil circulation.
If it's stood a few years the fuel might be crappy as well.
Thank you for the reply. I think I may be onto something.... The fuel pump doesn't prime when the key is turned!
Any ideas why the pump isn't coming on when I turn the key?
Depends what your going to do with the car,if you just want to start it then cut the boot floor.if its a keeper then drop the tank.I had the same problem a while ago.standing for years and old fuel.this wax my pump.I had chance to have a bit more of a look...
The pump is definitely not working. I have taken off the pipe to the injector rail and there is nothing coming out when the ignition is turned onto any position.
It will briefly run when brake cleaner is sprayed into the air intake, so that proves its a fuel starvation issue causing it not to run.
I have check fuse 39 (manual states this is for the pump). I have also checked the big yellow relay is clicking when the ignition is turned to position 2.
Where do I find the "Inertia Shutoff Switch X135 - behind RH Kick panel" ?
Where is the pump power feed taken from?
Finally if the pump is knackered, am I right in thinking it means taking out the fuel tank to gain access?
.4 bolts drops the tank IIRC
Much quicker and easier than ripping the carpet up to cut a big hole!!
He cut the floor open...

I did mine on a pair of ramps and dropped the tank on a trolley jack.He’s not the first or the last.
There happens to be a whole Fred about where to cut and get the fuel pump out.
Some don’t have lifts or pits to do it the easy way
