funny onion Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 turn key to IGN leave it for 5 seconds, so fuel pump primes, then fire her up..see if she fires better like that..I may be wrong but on these engines The fuel pump doesn't prime unless the starter motor is engaged. Ie it will only prime if the engine is turning over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayc-glanza17 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 prime as in ready to pump fuel through the system, so all the electrics all working..when you do that, you can usually tell its an earthing issue, which mine was.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jakeep82 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 yes can smell fuel when it first starts , always smells like fuel on tick over my local performance garage said its probably due to the size of my injectors , where is the temp plug situated ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
