Title: Car gone fud, splutter die!
Post by: Sam on 13 September 2009, 01:17
Driving back from clee tonight i noticed that at around 3200revs the car made a strange noise, a kind of heavy gristly ticking noise. then coming up a hill it mada a fud and spluttered and i just ran it through the gears to get to the top to a garage forecourt.
 Tried starting it a few times and it sounded very dry so i checked the oil and that was ok and no fluid comming out. The fuel pump does need replacing as it was getting more slow to start and reving strangly on startup..could this be my problem? Please also bear in mind it is turboed but when trying to start up it wasnt making any strange noises. Please get back to me asap! Muchoes apreciatoes...sam :sad:

Sounds like you just answered your own question mate. Certainly not worth the risk driving it any more for now until that oil pump gets checked. :smiley:

Just been back up to the car and there is no fuel comming out at the back so im not sure, again it almost started and didnt judder so was firing on all pistons i presume as it made a nice noise but then stopped and sounded dry again (no fuel)? Had an engine re-build 6 months ago so it shouldnt have messed up...i hope?
Any more info would be great! :cry:

Sorry mate not my department but i would be worried about running it any further with said dodgy oil pump.
Hey, you wont want to here this now probably but it's all part of the fun with these cars.
Will be interested to know what the outcome is, hope you get it sorted. It's normally something relatively simple in my experience. :smiley:

FUEL PUMP. But yer i hope that it is a simple fix! I know its part of the fun, it needed a new sump gasket as soon as i got it and i was actually happy because i had somthing to tinkle with.

can you hear the fuel pump ??

if you turn the ign on there should be a relay click in the fuse box

listen for that and the fuel pump buzzing

Ha Ha Ha fixed now! The pipe after the intercooler decided to fall out leaving a turbocharge mapped ecu to cope with normal air (not cool). Put it back on, started straight away! Job done   :grin:

I was told it would be simple....but not that simple!
