Hello folks,
bought my TQS from a friend last year, so far its had:
- full Mehle suspension arm kit.
- new suspension springs.
- new cambelt and water pump.
- full service oil, sparks, gearbox and diff oil.
- dash pod repair due to pixelation.
The car has been running sweet since March 2017 but not left my drive. Recently let the battery go flat and after charging it started fine but lumpy and cutting out.
I noticed the vacuum hose running across front of the engine from manifold to PCV? (next to turbo) was taped up - I did this to get it to run when I first got it - so I've replaced that with new pipe/clips and also the small one from manifold to fuel rail. I'd also noticed the air box had been butchered in the process so replaced and rebuilt that including a 2nd hand purge valve (directly behind air box) as that was split too. This was all complete yesterday. When I started her up, she ran fine then died after about 5 minutes and then became progressively more difficult to start/run.
Today I've had throttle body off, done a proper job including cleaning the temp sensor and inlet pipe. Started beautifully and ran for 10 mins then died.
If I leave her for a while and disconnect battery then allow throttle body to adjust before starting she starts fine but after a while struggles and dies (runs for longer the longer I leave her sat).
I'm thinking I may have a fuel pressure issue,.. anyone else got any ideas?
I'm not sure if I had the fuel filter done with all the other jobs, I'm guessing that's next but without a code reader, and being SORN) I'm a bit stuck. Help me please.
