Thanks for ur help peeps

If it still isnt right after this, replace the red Relay as well, as the power goes thru the yellow relay first and then into the red one, then out to fuse 19 which supplies the fuel pump. I had the same intermittent problem & replaced both relays & the fuse, now it hasn't missed a beat for over 12 month.

I'm contantly touching wood as i did'nt make FITP last year as my turbo decided it wanted to spin backwards at 120mph (on a private runway ) so took the top end to bits and it took ages to get it all sorted and up and running.

Hope you get the problem sorted as its the kind of problem you could do without, dodgy fueling. You don't want detination from running lean
