1997 clio with a carb???

Does it have an integrated immob, from the plip key.... Lock-unlock then start?
Power to the pump?
Have you tried powering up the fuel pump in the tank with a live fused wire?

Itll be a single point throttle body with a single injector, can you see if your getting a pulse to the injector?

were stumped by the carb part to be honest..... show us a pic. it really shouldnt be a carb on that year, if its a carb and theres fuel there then i'd say float stuck shut? main jet blocked? filter in fuel inlet blocked? not alot else it can be really.
