Thinking that way myself.

Fuel pumps are still working (at least I can hear them from inside the car) and all lights show up on ignition. Pumps are working (you can hear the rumble of the pump) but cant hear the gushy sound of fluid passing through. Its just started raining here now so waiting for it to stop then will dismantle the boot and have a look at the pumps inside the tank.

Had a quick look at the car this morning. Now have a problem with the alarm - re-connected the battery and there was a fuzzing coming from the alarm siren in the engine bay even with the alarm on or off. This fuzzing continues even after all the ignition is off and the alarm has been set. Is this a sign of a faulty siren, or a fault on the whole alarm system, in which case if this could be an imobiliser problem, would it restrict petrol to the fpr?

Ok, new fuel filter obtained, will change this later today. Would be good to check the igniter pack too - anyone please tell me where this is (or am I being thick!!)

I might start with this as I really dont want it to be the head gasket (thanks Gaz). Where do I find this ignitor pack then?

Sorry, I dont know the answer to that. Also tried pushing the car earlier this morning and the brakes have stuck on. It just keeps getting worse.

Ok, I cant find the map that is being used on the car. It must be on my laptop which is at work. I've got AA relay, they originally brought me home but it took them 45 mins and a lot of scraping to get it on. I havent got homestart so they wont move it from here.

Was advised not to tow an auto?? It also has no tow eye and is very low so any towing will be hindered by front bumper

Car was mapped before my ownership so couldnt tell you who did it. I might have the latest map, I'll have a look. Wouldnt have thought it would be a mapping problem if it was running fine before and nothing has been changed???

All six are sparking good Rich

Sorry guys, but am after some more advice . . . . Last time I drove the supe I parked up outside PC world, came out and the car wouldnt re-start. Thought it might have been out of petrol so canned up to £15 worth. Car turned over and spluttered, started with lots of right foot pumping but wouldnt hold the revs and kept cutting. Managed to get home (only just) courtesy of the AA and after advise from you guys checked fuel lines - fuel is getting through to the engine but only coming through the fpr at 16psi (although not sure if this is faulty as petrol spurts through quite fast and freely), cleaned plugs but they werent that bad and were sparking. With limited mechanical knowledge I decided to seek help and have asked numerous local mechanics who will not touch a modified supra (bloody seaside devon). Problem is, car wont start, turns over but doesnt fire, its auto so cant get towed further afield to a garage elsewhere, no mechanics locally will look at it and its so bloody low I cant get it onto a loader very easily so garages wont move it for me. Can anyone please help out with any suggestions that I might be able to check through myself. I'm guessing the next thing maybe the O2 sensor but am not sure where the hell to start looking for that? Also, am I right in thinking if it was an alarm/immobiliser problem then I wouldnt get any spark at the plugs? Anything greatfully received, alternatively anyone want to buy a car?

Really pissing down in Exeter at the moment, drive safely guys.

Sorry guys, standing you up I'm afraid. Supe still not wanting to start and as I lost all last weekend working on the damn thing I've got a lot to catch up on. Maybe April eh??

Ok, I had an idea. I removed the pipe coming out of the regulator and petrol peed out, so am thinking I've ruled out a faulty regulator as petrol seems to be passing through it?? But then, why should my guage be reading only 16psi max? Can anyone explain in simple terms the pathway of fuel from the tank to ignition? I ask because the hose coming from the fuel rail has the flow and I'd have thought it would be the other one?

Ok Fuel pumps are good, both working and I dont think the fuel filter is blocked as there is one hell of an amount of fuel coming through to the engine (disconnected at the fpr to check). Cant smell or see any signs of a leak and having checked the fuel lines there doesnt seem to be any kinks. So, like you I'm guessing its the fpr. I am away from the car at the moment, but will take a pic and post it when I get back. Thanks for the inputs.

I have an AEM ecu on her. Havent done any diagnostics before so wouldnt know where to start. I think it is a problem with the fpr as I've got loads of petrol coming in but hardly anything coming out. I've tried adjusting it but it is making very little difference reads between nothing and at most 16psi.

Ebay wont do anything about bad feedback as they say its an independent system which they cannot control. i was left with negfative feedback for open a paypal dispute as I never received an item which I paid for. I too was furious. People will see the positive feedback and with only one negative should still see that you are one of the good guys.

Not sure what type it is. Is it safe to bypass the fpr just to try to start the car briefly to eliminate it? Any recommendations for a good fpr which wont break the bank balance?

Thats what I'm thinking now as we have spark. Think I'm going to have to get a new one just to eliminate.

Ok, checked the plugs, a bit wet, dried them and cleaned them up and put them back in. The car fired a bit healthier but then went back to just turning over. I have noticed the fpg now will only reach 16psi and this only shows when the ignition is on, when it's turned off it goes back to 0. Is this right? I can't get it any higher than 16 although when I checked the fuel yesterday it was gushing. Going to check the spark now but any other ideas???

Car still not running yet - if I'm not in the supe, will meet you in exeter in something else

Good point - thanks.

Injectors 1000cc (put in by previous owner who wa going 800+bhp) AFtermarket fuel rail (not sure which one), twin fuel pumps, sinegle turbo running 510bhp at 1.1bar. Yes have got an afr in car. Going to set at 36psi just to try and get her started.

Thats what I'm worried about too. I'm still having problems starting the car (my other thread). It seems that the fpr has moved somehow and adjusted itself down to nearly no pressure at all, which might account for why it isnt starting But cant remember what it was set at originally. I'm sure it was quite high?
