Fuel problems.
« on: 17 February 2010, 21:51:20 »
My car wont start again, checked and spark is fine but not getting any fuel.

Pulled out the fuel pump today and that is fine, and getting power to it when turning over but the fuel never reaches the engine :(

Checked the de-presurisation valve, push it in and it is bone dry, before when i've needed to de-presurise always had fuel spurting out.

Is there any common problems anyone knows of?

I am guessing fuel filter is clogged (looks original lol) but cant get it off as it is jammed solid on the fuel line. Even broke the clip away completely (on the filter side, not the line) and it still wont budge.

If it's like you say an original filter, it'll be well stuck in place, give it some Pen oil for a few days ;) Hopefully that'll free it some :y

I agree, I would suggest some penetrating oil or coke on the joints of the filter to get it loosened up :y

Just pulled the clips back, the filters usually a pig to break free, but some gentle brute force does it.
