My fuel pump regulator on my metering head has gone tits up! wont let the car rev above 1.5k rpm so its unplugged at the moment! my question is......do i have to replace the whole metering unit or ca i just get away with replacing the sensor (black/grey) box thing on the side to replug the sensor into! (if that makes any sense)

 

Its actually more likely to be the fuel ecu (black box) itself than the reg.
Try someone elses first.

 

yes mate i know a chap that had that problem,and it was down to the black regulator under the metering head that be your problem!!

 

anyone got a spare black box!

*UPDATE*


Just phoned the tuner that last delt with me car...i said about just replacing the black box on the side and they tried that and it done nothing.....so i reckon its a replace the whole metering head job!

piss! not happy!

 

so have you tried what stu suggested, swapping the Fuel ECU with a known working item??
