hi

when i got the car previuos owner said if he left it for a long time it was a pig to start

,in as much as once it fired you could not rev it for about 15mins,then once in daily use it was fine!!!

 

any how car has been sat for 6 months & will not start.ive cracked fuel lines at fuel distributer & there seems good pressure.

also if i temp wire a permament live to 5th injector it will run on a lumpy tick over.but as soon as you touch the throttle it dies

ideas would be great

 

cheers brian

Hi mate have no worked on cabs for a whiles but te 5th injector i belive is a cold start valve,as it was on my rs turbo,that would start but die then splutter as soon as I did a few miles in it was fine,I know when my efi cab was playing up it was due to the fueld pressure regulator but not sure if the mfi has one what engine is in yours
