Hi There All.
Well where do i start?
Prior to the old girl just giving up she was a bit lazy starting and the abs light was on ( did come on before but went out a few days later)
Then one morning she just didnt want to know a few splutters but nothing. So after some probing I checked I had a spark, Fuel to and from metering head (non at injectors) so as shes on gas also managed to start it with easy start and with a rev get her to kick into gas so I could go to the breakers in LEEK, Staffs. (what helpful chaps they are) After finding out my fuel pump relay was shot replaced that and also the OVP relay (to cure the abs light ect problem) whilst I was there we checked the ICU, pressure actuator and ECU still with no joy
When I had a further look today I have found that there was no feed to the cold start valve so If i bridge pins 87v and 30 on the fel pump relay the car will start but with any revs dies again So Im thinking it must be fuel and electrical related
As you can imagine Im at my wits end and dont want to start replacing parts willy nilly because Ive had different advice (fuel distributor, fuel pressure regulator, metering head.....blah..blah..blah)
Its the Bosch KE jetronic system fitted.
Like I say It will run fine on LPG just wont start (unless 87v and 30 are bridged) on Petrol.
Any advice will be a great help as Im pulling my hair out here!!
Thanks Alex.
