Hey guys

 

So i replaced my fuel pump because there was a problem with it and when i was driving the car normally it was fine.

when i put my foot down the car would jerk as it it had run cut the fuel supply sometimes it would kick back in and be ok but other times the engine would cut and refuse to start for a few mins.

 

then after a while the fuel pump stopped whining when i put the ignition on so i changed the fuel pump thinking it had gone again but the car still doesn't want to start and the fuel pump doesn't make a sound...

 

any ideas....

 

Thanks 

Check the maf wires and try and get another one to try too, I paid £40 off eBay with a cone filter fitted, that's about the going rate for a used one, it needs to have the same colour label on it

check you have power to the fuel pump using a multimeter

As jay said check it with a volt meter and all the wiring going to the fuel pump under the seat. check relays also maybe check the immobiliser is not cutting the power to the pump too.

I wondered why you 2 were on about the pump, I think I must have skipped a bit on the original post, I saw he'd replaced the pump and was still doing it, just read it again and you 2 seem to be making more sense lol

Thats my trick coming on here after a Vodka or 8 ;)

Hey Guys

one of the wires to the fuel pump was a bit loose and wasnt sending any electricity to the pump but its all sorted now :D

excellent, a simple fix for once
