OK posting for lennie as he's just put an RST back together and there's no fuel coming thru

fuel comes out of cold start fine, but notihng to the std 4 injectors

is this DEFINATELY a mechanical problem? or could it be electronics related?

deffo fuel going into metering unit, but nothing coming out of the injctor holes.

 

have u tried cranking it, and depressing the meterign flap while doing so?

 

top,as jim says i have tried 3 metering units now..(not known if good or not) and have jsut got one to try tomoorow. car was running fine, was stripped and im refitting. could it be the loom/electrics ( the loom is in vgc)

 

yes mate, no fuel whatsoever!(only at coldstart )

 

help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

if u disconnect the multiplug at fuel pressure reg, this will eliminate electrics. Have u tried checking for fuel at injector feed on metering head?

 

would say its unlikely to be that then... whats the chances of 3 faulty ones..??

 

maybe get someone to post u another?

 

Think i have a spare...

 

metering head mate

i know u have changed 3 now by whats said

but if there left around not working they tend to sieze up

 

dont think u'll be able to send the whole thing at once - maybe in 2 parts?

 

hit it with a hammer

 

Yeah, could split it then post seperatly, and in seperate years

 

tried that mate, and hit it with a hammer!!

 

Hit it harder

 

Try taking the plugs out and main HT lead off, get someone to hold the paddle down in the metering head whilst you crank the car over. It is normally just an airlock that needs bled out. Once you can smell petrol in the bores let it dry off a bit and then re-fit plugs and HT lead.

 

airlock?? will try that!

 

Yeah its common if youve had any fuel lines or the metering head off

 

Undo the enjection pipes from the metering head, u should get petrol pissing out, if not work back, undo pipe off fuel filter etc.. at each point turn engine over to see if petrol is pumping through ( take the plugs out tho as compressing the bores will drine the battery quicker. sounds silly but is the pump/relay workin? most prob just an air lock though.

 

Don't know what i've just done

 

sorted mike... right, have petrol@ m. unit, and NO petrol from injetor unions on unit. does that little black bos on the right near the turret have any power over if fuel gets thru?

 

think thats the pressure regulator

 

bttt any more help???

 

Lennie, manchester mike has left a voice mail message on your phone with a possible answer

 

doh... i deleted it! by accident!!!

 

err all sorted now. sort of. it was only pumping a little petrol.. lol

 

eh? what you mean sorted?
