You'll only get fuel to injectors with engine running, it'll only come out of cold start outlet when you're fiddling

how so?

ive never had that before. aslong as the flaps down and fuel pumps on constant, ive always had it come out teh injector banjos

even with the lump turnin over nowts about and it cant start without fuel in the 1st place


im thinkin maybe 1 of the boxes on the side, 1's got to be a solinoid that would cut the fueling some how

damn shit weather, i'd change the m/head if it wasnt like a marsh in my driveway

Had it before when I blew hole in my intercooler, no fuel from injector pipes on unit or injectors, only cold start

obviously couldn;t see cooler to realsise i could get my fist in it

I would check the pressure regulator

I had a car do something very similar to that before and it turned out to be the pressure reg

i agree with the above, took it too an injector specialist who took ages and spent all me money diagnosing it but it was the pressure regulator

they thought it was the metering head but couldn't take it apart as a couple of the fixing points where fooked-changed the reg and it was sweet as a nut

fuel reg is the cylinder on the side yeah, towards the back before the return

ill give that a bash

best pressure test before metering unit, and at the cold start.

- if too low before MU = pump,wiring, blockage. or reg (if block the reg return, and still low then reg's not causing it)
- if to low after MU, = reg (as above about return) or somethings wrong with MU,

if pressure is as it should be before the MU and at the cold start, then its something wrong with the MU.

cant be arsed testing stuff, fitted new meterhead (battered about in my shed for 2 years ) scraped off the mud, stones and saw dust, car ran perrrrrfect








til the dizzy stopped supplying sparks

so gotta collect 1 from my 'dizzy box' tomorra and take the old beast for a spin before the savagery begins

and fuel is constantly available to the injectors while the fuel pumps goin for it engine running or not
