Hi i have a mk4 escort with 4x4 cosworth running gear i have just fitted an exsternal swirl pot lift pump and an 044 pump setup.i used the standerd fuel pump feed to switch the relays to start the 2 pumps running all was fine and working grate on first start up i let the car run and worm up then switched off.i tried starting the car a half hour later to find no feed to the 2 fuel pump relays after checking the oe relay under the dash i found it to be fine.ive runna a direct feed to the 2 relays so the pumps are running fine but the car turnes over but wont start now has anyone got any idears?
