Fuel Pump Now Priming, Got Fuel At The Rail

[Craigo 0]

right, as per my other topic, had a problem with the fuel pump relay, it had blown

 

 

so we have wired a switch into the fuel pump, the fuel pump now primes, and fuel is gettin to the fuel rail because i have removed a line to check! but we arent gettin the car to start! it sometimes tries to turn over briefly, then dies,

 

anyone any ideas? common things to check after the car has not had any fuel for a bit?

 

quite urgent as well!!

 

thanks

You didn't mix up the feed and return fuel pipe did you ? what i mean , connected the fuel feed pipe onto the fuel pressure regulator and return pipe on top of the fuel rail ....

no, we didnt disconnect the fuel lines at the pump end

 

its gettin a spark, but the plugs are not wet with fuel when you turn the car over,

 

doe the fuel pump relay stop the injectors fueling if it is not connectd?

 

thanks
