Oh yeah I forgot about track car modification! I presume that’s what you mean by some don’t run a full interior! My aftermarket exhaust isnt as loud as I’d like it to be sometimes and I considered changing it in the past but I’ll have to do with what I have for the moment. So what’s the problem with going stock OE pump again? Are they too expensive with main dealer as most parts are? What’s the correct size of Walbro pump to match the OE stock pumps ratings?

When you say stripped their car, what do you mean exactly or why are they stripping their car?

I would like to think that those who say the walbro is noisy would have everything fitted the way is should be before making that claim. But the thought did cross my mind why there were so many people buying walbro and why so many people claiming there noisy. Are people saying there noisy when bench tested/before the seats are refitted? I would expect a certain level of sound proofing from the foam type material the car seats are made from so it would be nice to know what the real issue is here? Seats not fitted/van conversion(no sound proofing)/or just some noisy pumps from bad bearings

Is APS a brand of pump? You say not many issues, did it give you any issues? Are they quieter than walbro and sorry for all the questions but from a starting point I should really have asked what is the standard OE pumps psi rating?

Cheers pal, yeah it was laid up for long time but i was not expecting to see that much corrosion on it. How would one check for excessive moisture in the tank? From looking into tank while fitted to car the fuel remaining looked uniform in colour and appeared to be all the one liquid. There was no rust or corrosion that I could see on the tank but the pump was a different story altogether! Any suggestions for a replacement pump brand or type that is quiet and reliable?

Ah right well I still don’t think mine should be so rusty and corroded although I might still get some use out of it. The tank seems in good codition. If I do need to replace this pump do you or does anyone know which are the best pumps to go for? I can’t recall mine being noisy and I’ve heard of people using a Walbro pump but I don’t want a noisy pump. Thanks again Calum122 for the help

Thanks pal. Yeah that’s the bit yeah. Only the one in your pic looks a bit different to mine and mine is sooo much more shiny than yours! (Not!) (See pic below) Considering how rusty and corroded mine is I think I would be better with a whole new pump but if I could get her up and running for a while I could work on a few other bits and I am guessing the pump could last another while if I cleaned it up inside and out. That’s if I can get a new sock like in your pic. What you think?

Calum122 Sorry for delay in reply but didn’t have much time earlier in the week to look at the car. I have a bit more time now and I done the test with easystart and she fired up and ran for a second or two then died. I did it again and same result. As I mentioned earlier I can’t hear fuel pump prime. I’ve even bridged the Fp and B+ terminals in diagnostic plug and still can’t hear fuel pump run with ignition on IG2. I opened fuel line at the rail while doing this and fuel only dribbles out like it’s not under any pressure. I’ve checked for voltage on the plug going to the fuel pump

Well there’s a problem then, cause if u say I should hear the fuel pump prime when turning ignition on and off, well I don’t hear that so there must be no power getting there or could the pump be knackered? Its a good point you make to rule out if it’s fuel related problem or electrical. I think I will try the easy start. My car has been lying up longer than yours unfortunately but hopefully it nothing too serious. I have been thinking of stale fuel being the problem originally as the petrol seemed to smell funny. I’m glad yours up and running again and got your misfire sorted out. M

Thanks for your reply Calum122, I was going to try that but someone said it’s dangerous to use easy start on engines or it could cause more harm than good. Do u know if there’s any truth in this? I feel there should be pressurized fuel coming out of rail when opened after cranking the engine. Do u know how I can check if the fuel pump is working as it should?

Hi all, can anyone please tell me why my GT Turbo won’t start after lying up for some time. It has spark and I opened the fuel line on right hand side at rail and there is petrol there but it just drips a little and doesn’t seem to be constantly running or under any pressure. All help or advice greatly appreciated. Also does anyone know where I can get a copy of the engine workshop manual for this 4E-FTE engine as it could save a lot of time trying to type up stuff and possibly not getting any closer to finding solutions. Thanks in advance

Thanks for all the replies. I unfortunately cant upload pics at the moment but t's a manual 5 speed gearbox and yes the economics is the one thing I forgot to mention, it's good bang for buck in a petrol car, but not when you have no job and insurance companies here are pure thieves all working together to form a plot in my opinion. I went straight from that to a 1.9 diesel van as I had not much choice and there was some difference on the pocket when funds are already low. I wish I knew an insurance company that could provide a fair cover price for this car here and then maybe things may be a

Hello to all starlet owners, I'm a newbie here but have had my GT Turbo for a long time. It may seem silly but I've been scratching my head about this problem for some time. I unfortunately cant afford to run it due to some personal issues which have also caused employment issues. Its a 1995 Starlet Gt Turbo and is one of a kind in it's looks and condition. At the same time there is not much extras or extra modifications done to it just some basics. I have had people asking me to sell it but it was never really my intentions. I still want to get it back on the road but cant see it happening a
