Car cut out while driving, was in second gear and stalled going uphill, fuel injector pump fuse blew, car started for a bit each time but had no power, then would not start at all. replaced fuse, it started twice for a few seconds in lots of attempts, took it to a garage, they have replaced the internal fuel pump with a new one, bypassing the radio suppressor, and removing the pulsation dampener, the old pump was engaging but not enough pressure, but the new one is doing the same thing. No fuel is reaching engine. After having the car there for 7 weeks they have finally given up with trying to fix it. I have replaced the fuel filter, cleaned the injectors, fitted new fuel pressure regulator. The boot emergency fuel shut off has been disconnected to test, the pump does not come on when disconnected, when connected the pump engages, think that rules this out. Running out of ideas, could it be a bad earth, if so where is the earthing strap/connection for this? or maybe a blocked fuel line? Any help greatly appreciated.

The boot lock on my cabby is broken doesn't open every time, have removed the locking hinge with the three bolts in the boot lid but cannot see how to remove the cylinder, does anyone know how you do this? Cannot see any further bolts

Coming along now, just needs a good clean

didn't look very good as very rusty, I went for the option of filling in the holes and having it sprayed, cost me £320 though.

check you have the correct gap on your plugs, just had this on mine and I had 08mm instead of 1.1 in it

cheers pal, changed the plugs seems to be ok now, the plugs I took out were FR5DC, they have a gap of 0.8mm, FR6DCX have a 1.1mm gap, someone mis-described them on ebay, 4 years of jerking around has left me with the shakes though

have adjusted the base idle as suggested, doesn't seem to be any better could be the idle speed compensator sensor, is there anywhere you can get these? thanks for your help

yes potentiometer is on inner wing located iscv it is on the back of the drivers side suspension turret

some time ago when I tried looking for the idle speed control valve, but believe there isn't one? theres a potentiometer, but have replaced this

thanks

Car jerks a lot when trying to maintain a speed of around 20 to 30. 1.6 xr3i 86000 on the clock. Have replaced spark plugs, oil and filter, ht leads, cambelt, fuel filter, potentiometer. car runs ok in fourth gear doesn't happen then. Any ideas?

yes please, car has been resprayed with the old ones removed, leaving the screw placements visible, was thinking that there must be some one out there who could make them, but expect it will be astronomical cost

yes that's the ones
