Default Cossie only starts on full throttle

Hi, my Cossie died the other night on the way home it will now only start while pumping the throttle even then runs a bit rough , I've changed plugs , cleaned cap and rotor arm , and checked cps and pulse sensor .

When running shows 2.5 bar of fuel pressure .

Any ideas ?

Any ideas please ?

That's a low fuel pressure.
Normally you should get around 3.0 bar on idle and 3.5 bar with disconnected vacuüm hose.

Maybe check fuel filter and measure fuel flow?
