Default whats my problem...

when it wont start from hot or cold...unless i bridge the fuel pump relay and press the metering head flap down to squirt some fuel in, then it will start after a few turns and tickover perfect.

relay is fine btw, i have to bridge it to put more fuel in

Hmmmmmmm, how did you connect in the power to the fuelling ECU then? Did you use the KE over voltage protection module aswell?

hmmmmmmmm my mate used that guide when he was turboing his XR2 and proper fucked the wiring up.

Bit hard to say really. I personally would check all the connector plugs for the various voltages etc and continuity test everything
