Hi All,
I walked out to the car tonight and turned the key, the car started for a second then cut out. It then wouldn't start at all. I suspect it might be the fuel pump or relay as I can normally hear the pump prime when I get in the car but I don't *think* it did tonight (I was on autopilot after work). Any way I checked the fuel pump fuse and it looked ok. I then removed the FPR to see if there was fuel in the rail, which there is. However if I try and start the car with the FPR out there is no movment in the fuel in the rail which I expected there should be (probably spraying out)?
I'm off back to the car shortly to scan it but wondered if it does look like the pump/relay, is there a way of testing which one it is? Can I attach a volt meter to the top of the pump with the ignition on? If so what should I see when its working or fecked?
Comments appreciated!
Dave.
