Noz Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) Last night car got stuck at 3k rpm and because unresponsive. Sadly having to arrange recovery this morning. As long as its still there kf course It feels electrical as if the throttle body just disconnected. Have an electric throttle. Car then proceeded to not start. Any off the cuff ideas?

Noz Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Update. Fuel pressure drops off after a momentary 4 bar. Suspect fuel pump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Ah yeweeah. Still find it odd the pump fires up then dies. @Mike2JZ would a faulty pump still be able create pressure then die? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 If the pump is on but cant build pressure just check rubber hose inside fuel tank hasnt ripped. If the pump dosent run at all then probably faulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 It turned out it was the fuel pump. Grams. 320 lph. Annoyingly.. the new one just failed. Any advice on what fuel filters to use. I'll get a new pump but likely change the filter too. Cleaning the contacts I'm hoping may also help. Really no idea why this has happened again. I'll be travelling with a spare pump soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
