and the exhaust is quieter when its playing up, and the fuel pump seems to run like the clappers

Your questions if they are questions are all jumbled.

sorry lol, here are the symptoms. Engine tries 2 cut out in drive. Fuel pump very noisy. Lacks power. Struggles 2 change up. Exhaust goes quieter and no poping and banging. But it only does this first drive of the day, very rarely continues after the first drive. Think it could be the fuel system?

PukkaSilvia · #14 20-03-2008, 19:19

it could be anything from the ignition timing to fuel pressure reg for example. Your going to have to work through the list from before on your last thread.

forget the auto gearbox from the equation at the moment.

also remember previous issues ie your injector plug and afm

If it only runs rough at the first drive, I wouldn't rule out damp in the dizzy.

would wednesday be ok? I stripped all the injector plugs off 2day, cleaned em all up, not much diference, but if i wiggle the main injector harness it hunts around, so might be a break in the cable somewhere..

thats fine, infact i had a cracked wire on an injector,have you tried running the engine, then disconnecting the injector plugs one by one, try it whilst its acting up, you should be able to see which one it is.obviously disconnetind 3 out of 4 of them will make it worse.

If I wiggle the main harness on mine it hunts a little and that is because the plug going to the throttle contacts is breaking the circuit momentarily. the main harness was not designed to be wiggled!

disconected each in turn, nothing. Did a compression check, well mate did, i think he said 137 psi on all four, cleaned the afm again, cleaned all plugs leads etc, changed fuel filter, swoped the air filter, cleaned batt terminals, flushed the coolant, checked oil level, checked al vacum lines, cleaned the tb out. And stil nothing. Then went and ripped the exhaust off on his drive! Dammit! Begging 2 hate this car!
