Default running problem

iv had my rs turbo looked at by the aa its been in the garage twice
its had a new pump and metering unit. the garage had it running for one hr and then it cut out then will run for 6 secs and cut off. its had a new meter unit and has fuel to it. now seems the injectors are not getting any fuel again.

Mine did that for a bit, turnt out to be the distributor! where the sensor plugs into the top it had become loose over time (as they do) and kept collecting moisture in the dizzy. Caused it to cut out all the time.

depends on how damp it was. sometimes i would run ok for a bit, other times it would run for a few mins then everything would just die.

Didnt you post this up a while back mate, still not sorted?

Sounds like an big air leak to me......... but if you say there is no fuel to the injectors then it must be one of these, pump, metering head, FPR, EMPA, empty fuel tank (lol), blocked fuel filter, FP relay, Immobiliser..... probably some other things to check but thats all i can think of right now.

It could be many things as carl has already said. Try your pump to see if it is supplying fuel.This is a good way to check you pump voltage and see your fuel rate. Check voltage to the pump and see what it records (ideally it should be around 12v). Undo the fuel pressure regulator return pipe. Place a jug under it and see how much comes out. Only leave it on for 20 seconds for this test

10 volts at pump should read 0.46L minimum
11 volts at pump should read 0.6L minimum
12 volts at pump should read 0.76 minimum
