Just put the engine back in my rs turbo when you turn the key the fuel pump comes on but for the first couple of seconds theres a noise like traped air could this be due to very low fuel (cars been off the road for more then 5yrs)dont know how mush fuel its got in it

HI, if low on fuel.pump can sound strange(gurgle sort of sound)otherwise
Could be air in the system, bleed off through cold start valve union, or at metering unit head,and use fresh fuel, as old fuel can go off ,causing starting problems,careful when bleeding air off with fuel spraying about,?
normally car does'nt want to start with air in sytem, so work it out for your
self on the symtoms,
Dave,
