is it k-jet or digi? Turn the key to position 1 and check the pump primes for a few seconds. If it runs continuously then the ECU is shafted! Though being a MK1 its unlikly to be digifant, not very common...

If you look at the airbox, if it has lots of fuel pipes running off to the injectors its K-Jet, and if its just a plain airbox its digi

can i ask if you have fixed this yet??
was it to do with your battery being earthed to your gearbox?
i had a problem with the car not wanting to start at all.
was just ticking.i found out that there was a bad connection from the battery to the gearbox.problem sorted!

bit of a generic answer, but here are possible problems,
dodgy earth for lift pump/injection pump
dodgy 12v for lift pump/injection pump
loose connector
damaged relay
kinked/trapped fuel line
air lock in fuel line
