kbeaton1972 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 V8 1988 Range Rover.....Thought the wires was wrong all around the coil but is all fine, on turn over it some times runs for about 20 seconds, but the more you try the less it runs... It trys to fire but bl**dy wont..lol I've pulled the fuel pipe off under the bonnet and on turn over it rushes out, I've cleaned all the terminals on the ecu, changed coil and so on..... Any ideas? I've gone completley grey the last month thanks. Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Mine had a habit of eating ignition amps so that would be high on my list. Steve ETA You don't show in your profile where you are.

Ok sorry mate... I pumped loads of easy start up the air flow metre earlier which makes run but with a few back fires, sounds like a fuel related problem.... any ideas????

SteveRK Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Assuming the air flow meter and ECU are o.k. You have flow but might lack pressure at the fuel rail, therefore I would be looking at the fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump. Somewhere around 34PSI is the normal pressure required to run. You could try clamping the fuel return hose to see if this allows the pump to get the pressure up indicating a fault with the pressure regulator. If it makes no difference then the pump is the likely culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
