TriniGT Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I left a friend's house a while ago and came home no porblems, switched off the car and had it running on the timer. I go to close my front gate and when I turn around I hear the idle drop a little and then the car stall. Tried starting the car but it just tumbles, got it to start but then it dies. I am hearing the fuel pump priming when I turn on the ignition, the fuel tank is full (wondering if I may have gotten a bad batch of gas as I just filled it not too long ago), I changed the fuel filter and still no luck. One question, will I only get a reading on the defi oil pressure gauge when the car starts? I am hoping it is just the fuel pump, I really need to have a friend over to remove the return and ensure that it is the fuel pump by flicking the igntion and see the fuel coming out. On a side note I am gonna install a fuel gauge and check the pressure same time. Any thoughts, I don't even wanna conside oil pump .

TriniGT Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 So no need to worry about the oil pump? Am I to only see an oil pressure reading when the car starts? The defi reads zero, but the car is not started. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/268649-car-wont-start/#findComment-4577259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
