hi i have fuel from the pump threw the filter to the unit the four red hoses that go to the injecters are dry the one that comes off the side has pressure.any views thanks.

 

i had same problem and could i hell as like figure it out for weeks first of allmake shure plenty of fuel in car because if there is only a bit it can affect fuel pressure also have you had car in bits at all cos a bad earth could cause switch not to activate valve in metering head (that was my problem in the end lack of fuel altho there was plenty in and bad earth to ecu) i thought mine was nackered and 100 quid and 2 good metering heads after i got it working so if it is nackered i have 2 which i no works as i checked them on my car

 

cheers mate have pm you with a few more questions

 

I'd unbolt the metering head from the base first off and check the plunger is free, if turn it upside down it should sink down by itself, thats how free moving it needs to be

 

have you made any progress mate to solving problem

 

put Ł20 petrol in no change checked as many earths as i could find still nothing

 

Have you done what i said above?

 

do you mean take the top bit which the red fuel hoses connect to off the metering unit and there is a small shaft of metal is that what i am checking.

 

no he means the plunger under the air box or filter also when you tried to turn it over did you do it yourself or have you got help because the best way to do it is take injector pipes off and filter box or induction whatever is on and get someone to turn engine over and push flap down a few times to see if there is fuel to pipes that will check wether plunger is free aswell without taking it off

 

Correct

 

have bought new metering unit off a mate fitting tomorrow will let you know. the thing i cant work out the car drove to the garage fine had a head gasket done put back together without touching the metering unit and now no fuel i hope it works tomorrow .

 

Let us know how you get on

 

All done chaps replaced the top bit started first time thanks for your help...
