Plz Help! Car Wont Start

[Savin]

i had a fellow sau member put on a bosch (032 or 040 or somethig) internal fuell pump and the installlation went well....drove it for 30 mins around and it was running well....as i was going home and then i had a a quick lose of power and the engine would slowly die.Tried starting the car and it wont start at all...

i could hear the fuel pump switching on but it wont start..It would just be cranking on the ignition...

Called him up and he told me to check my fmic piping and afm (there could be a leakage not getting enuff air) and check the fuel pump wirings ( a wire would of came off). I checked em all but it still wont start...

can someone help me out as please....it seems it wanna start but something is stopping it....

cheers

Take the fuel hose off the end of the reg...

See if fuel is coming out.

Sounds like a botched install of the fuel pump - is it a genuine BOSCH? Plenty of fakes on the market - usually easy to pick as they are just too cheap.

Stock wiring might not be up to the task of powering a slightly more uprated pump (dunno the differences between a Bosch 040 and a genuine stock pump)

im sure it is a genuine fuel pump....i might try wat u said nismoid...when u say reg..u mean regulator at the engine bay right??

[bR33nt]

yeah he does, and yeah if no fuel then maybe the stock wire just isnt big enough to power the 040, im guessing the 040 is similar to 044, when i got mine done u run another wire that follows the stock on thats a thicker core, otherwise it'l melt like it did on my mates vl after he got a respectable well known dyno'r in sa to put it on...

Could have blown a fuse?

Check that too.

[Savin]

if it is a fuse which one is it in the fuse box? the writing is in jap.....

[Savin]

breent...so u solder the stock wire to a thicker wire that will connect to the fuel pump? is that wat u mean???

[Savin]

where is the fuel pump fuse/relay located?

[Jmaac]

On R33 S2 its in the boot. Top 15A fuse

Check the fuel reg part before going any further mate.

car feels like ders no fuel going thru the engine....fuel reg might be faulty..what do i do now??

[Adriano]

HOw much fuel is there in the tank. Im guessing the fuel pickup has fallen off or the feed hose in the tank has split.

i have a spare pump for sale if you end up needing one let us know...

Have you pulled the fuel line off that goes to the reg and turned the key to on? Does the fuel pump out?

If not the pump pickup may have fallen off.
