When I tried the shorting of pins to get the ECU to show any fault codes it came up normal - no faults, could it show that if something in it was faulty/ burnt ? surely something would show up then or the test not work. I am willing to try anything at this point so could you explain how you...

Well now tuesday and still waiting for the so called expert to come and have a look at it. Really need to get this sorted out now so if anyone has any ideas of what else I can try then I would appreciate the pointers.. when talking to anyone about coming to look at it they all seem to assume it...

Yep will do dont worry, hopefully know more 2morra as the guy is coming out to look at it. If I get chance I will post saturday evenin if im back from london early enough, managed to borrow a car luckily. Funny enough pickin up a nice xflow for my mk1 fez(Y) no silly ecu's at least :laugh...

Ok Managed to pick up another pump this afternoon and got it fitted. No change still dyin :down: Gotta get temp sensor in mornin to sort fan but at a loss now with fuel side. New filter changed pump cleaned out injectors flushed pipes no fault codes seems a lot rougher tickin over now too...

Right finally managed to remove pump and sender but cant fathom how the bottom piece is fixed to tank. Does this need to come out or is it just a plastic bracket as such ? although will be hard to get everything to slide back while its still fixed I think. Have cleaned the strainer bit with tin...

Yer I realise that changing the sensor should cure it but I was asking if a fault on ecu could be causing the symptoms Im having (both fuel and fan). Just unlucky I suppose having a couple things go at once, will short fan wires today and see. Gonna try getting pump out again and checking...

How much for fuel pump posted please.

Dont suppose ye had a listen to the vid did you Frank ? I know it looks like a sig an not a vid.

Well I got as far as Taking it out and couldn't work out how it was held in place So I thought I'd go get the pump from scrappers and if its still in car then I can do my learning on the scrapper incase I bust summat :laugh: Anyway it turns out that the k11 he had in had already been well...

Anyone know how its clipped to floor of tank,, cant see too much cos of petrol. Gotta say the pump looks brand new from what i can see of it.

:laugh: just checkin there's no pipe under car to undo. Found a pic in pdf manual just a pity its russian text.:laugh: Oh well better crack on.

OK cheers, can it all be done from inside the car ? Just its lashin down here and dont fancy gettin under it :laugh:

Yer thats the way Im thinking now Frank, better have a read on pumps and see if I can find a how to :blush: have to buy me a haynes comic too. Thanks for all the help mate, will post how I go on (oh no .. I hear you say ) (Y)

Yes most times you can nurse it as you say, but if I try to drive away again or heavy throttle it will die completely. Last time I limped home in it, it deffo seemed to be fuel as it's as though your just about to run out and like you say I managed to nurse it back slowly:laugh:

Just getting short on ideas now, so was thinking of changing it in case it is a intermittant fault with pump.. or do they just go altogether. Is there anywhere else that could have crap from tank when it ran low or does the filter stop it all ? Just that the car was running great till the day...

Yes can hear pump for short while as it dies and always for few seconds when re-starting. Local scrapper has a micra in so may nip down and see if it has the same pump, for the sake of 20 quid or so i may as well get one as getn desperate now and really need car friday :laugh: Will check all...

Just checked again.. none there for pump. lights, alty, engine cont,batt etc. Yours must be same as mine Frank

15a in right hand side,think it was second one down but was nowt wrong with the one i took out just tried it anyway. The ones under bonnet you mention all look ok and no damp in there all look new and shiny.

Jeez Frank ur a star.. right ok well it seemed to flash as stated for a while then it died again. When I restarted car this time it seems to be running a lot worse as in almost dyin all the time when throttle is touched.

ok Just been tryin this and I cant get any engine light or any light to flash at all, even unclipped plug and put paperclip in from back but still nothing..:blush:I have tried a good few times and followed info above to the letter.
