elite wont run on gas. HELP
« on: 02 June 2012, 13:18:15 »
right, here we go again....ran the 3l out of gas last week.
went & filled her up today, on switchover it cuts straight out, can hear the injectors ticking but cuts out.
checked fuses & all seems ok. seems as though it has no gas but its got a full tank.
Any help please on this or it will be going, ive just about had it with this car.  >:(

Check that both the solenoids are actually firing when the power is sent to release the gas. Sounds like either a trigger wiring fault or knackered solenoid to me, but that's just a guess from the symptoms ;)

I'm assuming you've tried several times and it's not just got a drop of vapour in the lines from running out (although it shouldn't) ???

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

when i switch over....give it a blip & you can hear the ticking, seems like no gas. ive tried it several times.
was wondering about a blockage/air lock but as you say it shouldnt happen.

Given it happened when it did, I'm thinking airlock as well. Anything else is too coincidental.
