is the hp pump the one under the car, should i just get another one from ebay to try and eliminate something?
its risky on ebay,the unfortunate thing is ther over 100 squid new and you need to do both to be safe,good news is the small ones aprox 22 squid
a dying hall sender will send the rev counter a bit nuts, which also matches the symptoms. was it crazy just cos the revs really were messed up or did the rev counter go way higher/lower than what the engine was actually doing?
i think it was up and down as the engine was dyin on me, whats a hall sender, all this is driving me mad.
the hall sender is a module inside the dizzy (distributer) if the revs aint bouncing about like a bluebottle on speed then cast that asside
ideally you want a fuel pressure test done, confirm if you do indeed have a low pressure situation. Do you notice the main pump gets louder now & again?
i cant really notice if it gets louder or not, the exhaust sound is to loud. i will take it to a garage to check the fuel pressure. if i make it there lol.
i hade my feul pressure checked when i hade my pump problem and the pressure was ok around 5 bar,he said the pressure can be ok even if the pump is goosed,its the volume of fuel delivered,he likened it to a hose pipe running smooth and constant the breifly standing on it,the pressure and delivery change and ends up spluttering,anyhow i changed it and it was fine,put a new lift pump in too dont buy a second hand lift pump,you dodnt know what your getting,you cant just test them by running them,mine was broken but it ran and thats what caused my h/p/pump to go,buy brand new and do regular filter changes

done a bit of testing today. pulled the injector out, bypassed the pump relay and lifted the betering head flap. at first fuel started coming out fine, after a few more attemps of lifting the flap i either had noting coming out the injector or splattering of fuel. would this suggest that its the main pump thats the problem? although i should really change both pumps?
well id do the lift pump first as its cheaper, if problem persists then do the main! have a look on ebay new ones come up now & again for good prices. just make sure its a k-jet MK2 one and not digifant (MK2 8v kjet one is same as 16v fyi)
that kind of fits what i said in #52 get bidding on this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....=110311729919&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:PIC&ih=001
