All painted and delivered! :D

Also i have a problem, i went to start the car for the first time for about 10 months, Fuel pumps running, it started, idled for about 5 seconds then died, fuel pump keeps running constanly! im thinking the fuel pump is working just not pumping it to the engine ?? Should i hit around the fuel pump, take it out and clean it or simply replace it ? the tank was dead empty for as i said 10-12 months, i have chucked 25 litres into it but still it keeps pumping and car keeps turning over just no start. any help would be great.

Thanks

Adam

Could be pump, could be sticky injectors. I would buy a 342 Walbro or Deatschwerks and running a relay for it to run 14v. If you need injectors I have plenty here. Sorry to hear mate but these things happen I guess.

GOOD NEWS! Putting 25 litres of fuel into the tank and letting it sit overnight has done some good! car now starts and runs but fuel pump still runs constanly, will grab dads trade plate and take it for a 10 minute drive to see if it stops, if not ill invest in a new one and see if that makes a difference. Took 2 photo for you, its filthy so once i get it out and washed ill take some better ones.

cheers

good news once again!!

I found what the noise was! it was the 4wd pump! that smashed relay i posted on page 3 or 4 is the problem, dad wrigled it around and the 4wd light went off on the dash and the noise stopped :D have to do some more searching to see if i can find a new one, but finnaly everything is nearly finshed on the poor old girl!

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 馃ぃ馃憤   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 馃槂
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
