Intermittent Fuel Pump Fault

[CJGREEN89]

Over the past 2 weeks I've sent quite abit on trying to sort out an intermittent running issue.

I think I've finally found out that the fuel pump/sender is either working part time OR the wiring to it is causing the issues.

Had the pipes off, turned over and no fuel came out the sending hole, left it an hour or so, tried again and fuel flying out the hole. Connected back up and got the car running again.

Is this a full fuel sender unit replacement job or the wiring to the connector which needs checking?

Fuel gauge is reading the correct level of fuel.

Thanks.

Diagnosed this last night. Wiring under the fuel pump relay under the ECU had snapped.

Bridged it and car started straight up.
