Hi td5 gurus can anyone tell me the correct priming sequence following the fitting of the in tank pump. The car runs but dies like its sucking air. I 1st turned ignition on and waited untill the pump went quiet then started it. If it then dies its a sod to start. Any advice is welcome at this stage.

Turn ignition on 2 then push completely and consecutively the throttle 5-6 times utill the MIL starts flashing then wait untill it stops(around 3 minutes) then ctrank it.
Ok primed it properly and ran ok but lost power half a mile then cut out again. Changed fuel regulator and diaphram still cuts out. After its cut out you prime it 3 or 4 times and it will run for half a mile. So in tank pump changed fuel regulator changed fuel filter changed. Had noticed a lot of blue smoke now tho.

+1 for injector seals(copper washers are causing such symptom)

Yea they right, i think mines alternator, when in 2nd position on key battery light doesn’t go out like it should before starting, so borrowing a charger and charging battery if it starts I know it’s that! 99.9% sure it is, have a feeling!

It should go out only AFTER the engine was started and running... and this thread is about something else
