    Mini cooper s r56 turbo wont start unless i pull high pressure fuel pump plug off, 2 wired plug.

    As per title any ideas, car just cut out dead and will not start unless I pull the 2 wire plug off the high pressure pump solenoid. I also get no reading at all on the dianostic fuel pressure check. I have 72 psi when connecting my fuel pressure gauge to the line.
