To answer your question, Yes. The car is running standard Boost. It peaks at .9 bar and holds nominally at .8 bar on a remote gauge.
I have replaced the phase sensor and it is gapped at 0.3 mm.
I have replaced the fuel filter inside the last 300 miles with a genuine ford item.
I have at a previous time checked the voltage at the pump, and although I don't remeber the exact figure, I do remember that the voltage value I got didn't immediately give me cause for concern.
However, I haven't rewired it. Just to make sure I don't add any confusion, Do you mean for me to;
Put in a fresh wire from the fuel pump relay all the way back to the + terminal on the fuel pump.
And put in a fresh wire all the way from the fuel pump - terminal right back to the - post on the battery?
Or is your advice to bypass the fuel pump relay altogether and take a 12v feed directly off the + terminal on the battery?
I do really appreciate any help to get her running right, but surely this would mean the pump was permanently powered up?
the diagram should reveal all
is the misfire intermittant? was the problem still around before the fuel consumption issue arouse?
do you know what the CO% is at idle? and i guess the ecu has no chip in it? - i have seen cars before which are classed as standard but have a stage 3 chip in the ecu!
