any one think it could be the low pressure fuel pump?

I have looked at the fuel flow rate on a car scanner and it got up to 2100 lph under high revs but the scanner did not show the bar pressure.


any thought would be appreciated

thanks

Might be, although usually they soon die completely. Can you hear it running when the engine dies? Perhaps it might be worth whipping it out to check the filter...

Yep. I'm just throwing out ideas here, the lack of power before it snuffs it sounds like a fuel issue.

thanks, any ideas gratefully received :cheesy:

unfortunaly ive just swaped the intank pump for one from the breakers and no difference :? :(

shame, really hoping for a fix that i can do me self and save the cash.

my fear is its electrical! the fuel rail pressure circuit which was tampered with before i had the car!

oh well

this may run and run
