ahhh ok

take off hose and squirt fuel into the intake manifold... see if you get a beh rerr rer

or.. try "start ya bastard"?

hahah! thats what it sounded like or maybe more of a burrrrerer re ehrerr ruh ruh ruh ruh

what so just take off the intercooler hose, open the throttle body up and squirt fuel in there? or spray start ya bastard in there and crank it again?

i guess atleast that will indicate wether its a lack of fuel causing it not to start which im pretty sure it is

[oldcorollas]

yah, something like that
EFI equivalent of pouring fuel down the carby

if there is fuel vapour, it might just give a single kick.. but if it does, and then not after.. you know it is def lack of fuel..

ok in a bit of a hurry to get this sorted out now, wasnt too keen on pouring fuel down the intake manifold cos it looks a bit dirty and dont wanna wash shit into the pistons

i bridged b+ and FP in the diagnostic box gave it a few cranks and still nothing, i will try putting a bit more fuel in the tank cos its pretty low just to rule that out but where do i go from there?

theres definately spark but no fuel can i check anything else myself? circuit opening relay etc?

GOT IT STARTED WOOHOOO

OK car was very low on fuel so put in 10 litres and tried cranking still no go, bridged FP and B+ again and wullah me got starty! I tried bridging them a few weeks ago but maybe there wasnt enough petrol in the tank

I searched today and found some good posts regarding how the fuel pump gets power via the resistor/relay near drivers strut and then to the main relay in the foot well then through the red n black wires to the fuel pump (is that right?) although im not too good with wiring etc its a bit overwhelming sometimes

my question is now that it will start and run with FP&B+ bridged (dies if i disconnect it) where do i look now and how do i tell/test if one of the relays is rooted or not.

haha so it wouldnt start because it had not much fuel?

LOL!!

Thats happened before.....Ask Blake (INNOCENT)

[AeRoKaBn]

haha yeah im a dumbass i know but it still needs the FP and B+ bridged to work cos i tried that before and it didnt work but when i put more petrol in it decided to start

so any idea what needs doing to it now? its all connected properly but im thinking one of the relays is shot?
