It’s been in storage for 4 years, I got it running no problems then the next day it wouldn’t start but turning fine.
I took the line off the fuel rail , turned the ignition and no fuel. So took the pump off completely, connected it to a battery and it was fine . I reassembled everything and the car started . Thought it was a blockage .
I leave it 48 hours and again, same problem. I check the relay - works fine , check the fuses, fine , check the connections to the fuel pump , fine.
Take the pump off fully again and connect it to a battery and it’s fine. Reassemble and the car starts up And runs fine for the rest of the time I’m working on it.
24 hours later and it’s dead again.
I disconnected the power from the pump, leave it on the fuel lines and connect directly to a battery and nothing.
I think faulty fuel pump so get a new one with new fuel line and filter . Fit all those and the car runs , it runs after 24 and 48 hours gaps.
I had to move it today after nearly 2 weeks and it’s fucking got the same problem.
I just don’t get it. Anyone had the same issue ?
I checked the relay and fuses , they’re fine.
It’s weird how taking the pump off completely , emptying it of fuel, then reinstalling it seems to work but not a direct power feed when on the lines.
I’m not sure if there’s a blockage because I drained the fuel tank and put on a new filter.
It’s strange and doing my head in.
