Hi All
Took the old girl out today for a spin to get fuel - was pretty low ! About a mile from the house she ran out of fuel - or so I thought ! I got 10 litres and put them in
Car started but after 2secs died out - I put this down to fuel needing primed - got my brother in law to tow me back again - on the way back I clutched out and let the engine go with the car hoping to prime her
Still no joy so took out the DME relay and run a jumper from 30 to 87b to run the pump for 90 secs ! Put in another DME still no good !
What the Symptoms are
Car cranks - no rev counter bounce
Car fires - cuts out after 2 seconds
What has been carried out
Fuel primed
DME relay exchanged
What I'm going to carry out Tommorrow if I get any peace is a test lamp to fuel pump fuse -
if the lamp goes out after I let go of the key this will point to the RPM sensor
If it stays lit it's either the fuel filter, pump or regulator need to be looked into
Am I correct in saying that the fuel pump cuts out if there is no signal from the RPM sensor ?
She does fire which tells me that the reference sensor is okay ?
Thanks a million in Advance lads
