Hi

My 300te 24, has gone from starting and running but occasionally going weird by starting to kangeroo, lose power and threaten to die when putting foot on the gas, now won't start, turns over etc.... If i spray easy start down the air intake it will run and then stop again. But i can see fuel getting to the system???? and of course there is spark too :(

Has it got a spark? Does your fuel pump run for about 1 second when turning on ignition?

On the top of the fuel metering unit, there are 4 pipes going to the injectors. Loosen a pipe (12mm) & crank it over. Does fuel come out?
