hi
need bit of advice with fueling please.
i've just put s2 lump in mk4 escort van but having probs getting fuel up to the injectors. If i take the fuel line off one of the injectors and turn ignition on so the pump kicks in should fuel be coming out of that line? or come's out when cranking?
I've got fuel to the metering head (mfi) but nothing going to the injectors any clues. Total novice so any info would be great.
Everything is brand new apart from metering head

Cheers
pete

 

if you find out tell me my s2 has been like this for 3 months

 

Any one have any idea's? new mfi unit? or needs bleeding somehow?

 

ive tried new pugs, leads, coil, dissy, fuel pump, new relays, new metering head new injectors and tried bleeding but nothiung

 

bloody hell really! this is not good then..

I've got a m8 coming round tomorrow to have a look so i'll keep ya updated bud.

Cheers for the info m8

 

cool mate i think its got to be something simple tell me when you frist go to yours does it fire then just wont fire again

 

take the air filter off so you can see the flap in the metering head.Then get someone to crank the engine over as you GENTLY push down on the flap. This should get the fuel up to the injectors!

 

done that with mine mate and it still didnt start

 

If you take an injector out and crank it over you wont see any fuel anyway because theres a dirty great air leak where the injector should be......

bridge the fuel pump relay so the pump runs, push the flap and you should see fuel out of the injectors.

 

could my pressure regulator be away

 

All i could really say is try swapping it, but as we all know swapping random parts becomes expensive.....i've really lost track with your car now its been so long

 

ive gave it a rest for a while just on the spare rs i seen it had a pressure reg still on it and not changed that yet ive not spent any money ive got all my parts on loan to try

 

try it you haven't got anything to lose then

 

will do so whats happening with the cab then still got it

 

Still sat there..........roof slashed up, probably filling up with water.

Got higher prioritiies atm, plus the fact this summer ain't all its cracked up to be. HIGHLY likely i will either break it or put a 3i lump back in and just get rid of it

 

nnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooo dont do that get it sorted mate its a top car

 

SafeChav your a good man thanks worked a treat! motor fired up after been stood for over a year. Cheers m8

 

Really can't be arsed with it at the moment mate

Glad you got it running
