Tricky one here! bosch 044 on cosworth priming issues?
ok i have a bosch 044 fitted to my cosworth and its got a really bad splutter as if on 3 cylinders but once its right up in the rev range it seems fine. ive noticed that when the ignition is switched on the pump only primes for a second not the normal 2-3 seconds is this normal? ive replaced the cps cts phase sensor (gapped correctly) new spark plugs genuine 071`s its running stage 3 msd chip 803`s T34-55 3 bar map sensor etc this car has had my life and all im doing is chucking money at it with no success! can somebody please tell me where im going wrong? thanks in advance!!

My personal and expensive opinion is new engine loom, standalone ecu and coils on plugs.

cheers for the reply mate yeah im trying to avoid the dreaded new loom but if it needs it then so be it. its as if its being choked on low down power very spluttery.

Might be worth checking the correct spark plugs and gap specs along with cleaning all earths.
When I got mine I junked the lot and went with new loom.

That is a good point, give it to one expert to fix, do it once and do it properly.

Hi
Always start with a few basic checks
Even so called profestionals some times slip up here.
Do a conpression test to make sure your engine is good mechanicaly before you get too technicial
If thats all good a fuel pressure test would be good---ok
Check all your multiplug conections
Make sure there are no air leaks and all the pipes are on the plenim
Check the Map sensor pipe and that there is no petrol contamination
Cheers Tim
