Hi guys,
Got an issue with my g/f's stock R32 gtst. Basically it won't start, it cranks strongly though.
Now I have a feeling that it's a dead fuel pump and/or broken fuel pressure reg.
Here's what I've done:
1. Pulled the fuel line off the fuel rail (The line that comes off fuel filter), and put the end in a coke bottle.
2. Turned reds on. Could barely hear it priming.
3. Checked bottle... no fuel.
4. Cranked.... checked bottle... no fuel.
Have I pulled the right fuel hose off? I just want to see if the fuel pump is actually pumping anything through.
Is there anything else I can check?
What do you think it could be?
Any help is appreciated.
thanks heaps guys,
wil..
Background:
- A few months ago the car started getting hard to start in the mornings. Had to tap the throttle to get it started.
- Recently it's gotten harder to start.
- A week ago there was a very strong fuel smell in the cabin.
- Today after a bit of a drive, we parked, then when we came back to the car it started ok, but then when I came to a stop after driving for only 2mins the car almost stalled. Had to keep my foot on the accelerator to keep it going.
- This happened all the way home. The car was also struggling to move - seemed to have gone into rich and retard (well that's what it felt like).
- Got it home...
- Left it for a few hours...
- Now can't start it at all.
