The car is hopefully coming off SORN once I have got to the bottom of why it's refusing to start!
Initially, the car fires up for a split second and then stop my initial thought was lack of fuel even though the fuel gage registers a quarter of a tank so added some more (20ltrs)
still, nothing I have checked the fuses and relays related to the fuel pumps all is good I can hear on the ignition turning the relays and pumps priming and coming to life, I have also changed the fuel filter
nothing other than fuel in the old one.
So the next step was to check the pressure on the fuel rails on top of the engine undoing the valve caps and pressing the valves produced barely a dribble even with the ignition turned on and fuel pumps primed.
This leads me back to the pumps in the fuel tank! is it possible that both pumps failed together? or can one pump fail the car still run? I would have thought one pump would produce some pressure!
I am also thinking if the emergency pump shut-off valve was causing this the pumps would be silent or am I wrong?
Ideas welcome
Regards Gordon.
