Tommy Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggs Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 check you have power to the fuel pump using a multimeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 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.

Miggs Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
