Hi Chaps.
Drove car fine on Saturday with no problems. Car not run on Sunday.
Today I needed a trip to the local tip to get rid of some junk.
Car started fine as normal, but half a mile out, I felt a loss of power and when giving a bit of throttle it held back and the mil light came on until I eased off.
I struggled to and from the tip steadily and it got worse and worse.
On getting it back into my garage after a couple of revs, the engine cut out and wouldn't start again. OK, so I removed the fuel supply tube from the HP pump and turned on the ignition. Bugger all came out.
Low pressure fuel feed pump I thought, but I could clearly hear it, so thought filter maybe. Having dropped the pump/filter housing, removed the pipe connector and attached a piece of tube to a container, I turned on again, and tons of fuel came out.
So, my question is, is there anything else between the filter and the HP pump that could cut fuel flow, like maybe a control valve or something? If so where is it? There is, I notice some sort of device near the EGR valve but not sure what it is.
Thanks guys.
Andy.
