Fuel pump doesn't prime on second ignition

[Louis]

Looks like my car knows its going soon as its giving me problems

Its been happening for ages now, car runs completely fine as it should but come to it when it hasn't been run in about 2hrs + mornings and it takes about 5 full seconds of cranking.

Managed to diagnose it as the fuel pump not primping on second ignition and when its cranking the pump works just takes the 5 secs to pressurize the rail, fuse and efi relay are all okay.

Am i looking at a new pump?

The fuel pumps do not prime on the second ignition. They only start to pump fuel once the starter motor is engaged. This is the same for gt and glanza models. Chances are your fuel pressure reg is not seating properly inside allowing the pressure to flow back to the tank in the return line.

I'm running standard fuel reg bt I see what your sayin I'll try a spare one I've got and see what happens. Cheers mate
