Sounds like it's starting and running on the cold start valve, then as that switches off it's cutting out. I forget exctly how it all works as haven't looked at one for a while but sounds to me like the warm up regulator is kaput

have a read. It basically lowers control pressure which raises fuel pressure to injectors when the engine is cold, as the engine warms up the bi-metalic strip inside the regulator changed and in turn raises control pressure to lower fuel pressure as it's no longer needing extra fuel for warm up.

does the car start, run for a few seconds...cut out then is very difficult to re-start or doesn't start again until it's cold? if so....thats the problem i'd bank on.




p.s. an easy way to check if injectors are working and at a decent pressure is to bridge the relay so fuel pump runs, push the metering flap down and the injectors let off a "squeel" as fuel flow through at high pressure.
