Dam. does it go off when you have the ignition on? or does it go off when the engine is running??

it will maintain the pressure when you turn the ign on and switch off after around 5 secs i believe.

Also, i think you could test the impedence of the pump to see if its on its way out - Unsure of the values tho!

your FPCM has shat itself...ive got the one from my car spare if you need one.

this is what is happening...when you first key the ignition on the fuel pump primes the fuel system, when you are doing this several times it builds up enough fuel to start and run the car....after a minute or two this primed fuel runs out and the car stalls...then you are trying to start it again, with enough key on key off cycles the fuel pressure becomes high enough to fire the car up again.

the Fuel Pump Control Module or FPCM is located behind the trim in the rear drivers side.

So his can't be an issue because maybe 6 coils are now swimming in water?

Do people around here not have common sense?

What you've just said is:

I had my car in the same condition, and it can't be what you've said, because I had happen what you said, just not quite so severe...

Smart...

this is why u should shut ur farkn mouth and not have a go at people Are you positively annoyed friend? carnt. i got the same style bonnet and mine was outside in the rain for weeks and didnt manage to get all 6 coils swimming in water.

your pretty good and "TRYING" to put people on show, yet u seem to have no good advice to input urself.

Mate, just because yours didn't go swimming in water through all 6, doesn't mean his couldn't have.

You're a fool, there's no where for the water to drain to once it's in there, other then once it fills up, and flowing in to the other coil pack areas.

And maybe I should "shut my farkn mouth", but have you thought about learning to 'speel' or use the English language appropriately?

You sir, are a fool, and a keyboard warrior. I have provided more input then what you have, especially with your "It can't be the problem you just said because I had the exact same problem just not as severe" (PS, have you cottoned on to that part yet?)

hahah cry me a river. and i spell like that because SAU sensors swear words u dumbass. and just for future reference, im alot more educated then ul ever be.

p.s. believe u me, im alot more than a keyboard warrior :)

Ha ha ha cry me a river. and I spell like that because SAU sensors swear words you dumb arse. and just for future reference, I'm a lot more educated then you will ever be.

p.s. Believe you and me, I'm a lot more than a keyboard warrior :)

PS, I don't believe you... :D

And you're the one getting all worked up, after someone said to check something, which you said not to, because you had the same problem, and then I said again, that he should check it, because you've already had the problem... Do you see where I'm going with your half witted level of thinking.

Any way, I'm not going to argue with you any more. You're obviously a moron, and I'm not going to let you drag me down to your level, you'll just beat me with experience... :)

Have a good day.

haha what a cute carnt. and its not what u said, its how u said it fag boy. "Do people around here not have common sense?" :) so stop playing the victim and run along to mummy.

Mate, I don't live any where near my mummy to run to...

Also, the comment was because not only you, but about 50 other threads in the last 2 weeks have had other people saying it.

I'm not playing the victim, I'm laughing at the fact so many people are missing common sense around here. Hell, someone else even said they were going to say the same thing as what I did.

So HTFU, and move on with life mate, instead of turning into a keyboard warrior attempting to be the toughest little shit out there.

Edit: loving how you also have to keep relying on personal insults. Have nothing else to be able to say except "you're this", "you're that" and "I'm smarter then you as you're just a dumb arse"?

Nothing constructive? No counter technical argument?

If not, have a nice day and stop spamming this guy's thread.

Love the way arguments always go back to spelling.. cos people who take the time to type properly are so superior n all

umm mbs206, you missed the only real mistake in his post which was he wrote sensors when it should have been censors... and the phrase is 'believe you me' not 'believe you and me'. as for you quicky, with your high level of education I would think you could utilise your written communication skills a little better when called upon.

now, the next one of you to hurl any insults or any further personal attacks will get a 1 week suspension. you are both getting a warning.

yes, guys. no more of the arguing. I know people will from time to time say things that piss us off. but we need to be strong enough to post calmly and rationally our point of view, without abusing or threatening people. or even better, just leave it all together and move on to another thread. Quicky is now on a 7 day suspension as he's a repeat offender. MBS206 has had his sentence suspended as he's never had a warning before, but should he engage in this kind of behaviour again that suspension will come into play.

NOW. let's all move on and get back to the actual topic.

-= This is why i dont bother helping out people most times and reasons why alot of other people have lost interest in helping others also, =-

Hope that issue gets sorted mate, i seriously thought that it was the earth wire as it was with mine.. sorry i could'nt help out much more.

foney i trie what you said mate and it wasnt the problem, next thing im about to try is the fuel pump control module which paul wreckens his pretty sure so trying wont hurt

thanks for clearing everything up guys, just dont want this thread turning into an ugly war

cheers tony

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
