Fixed me motor today turned it over for a while then connect everything up ready to fire the ole girl up and nothing just sat there turning over! cecked the plugs and they were bone dry!

couldnt hear the fuel pump at all! arse!

any tips on changing the fuel pump without looseing the half tank of optimax i got!

cheers

 

Fuel Pump relay gone tits up?
Pinky/purple one under driver side dash - they do melt and will fail

Regards to the pump itself, get a pair of clamps and close the hose just before it gets to pump

Other thing worth doing, put some new connections on the fuel pump, I do mine every year as they only go rusty/corrode and cause all sorts of issues

 

Test things before assuming they are fucked mate! Saves repairs getting expensive. Have you checked the fuse? The pink relay sometimes fails but these can be repaired if you know how.

 

i would test things if i had the equipment! but i dont so all i can do is assume the worst!

 

Well have a look see, something might just be loose or fell off??

 

right this fuel pump relay...where exactly is it? im gunna have a look for it tomorrow!

 

Under your drivers side dash, will be 3 relay's located on a row of clips
Easy to find, just make sure it goes back in the clip properly or it'll cause loose connections and burn then eventually die

 

which it may have already done!

 

just got a price on a relay! £22+vat!

hopeing its the pump now beins as i can get that for £15!
