Good Evening.
A couple of day ago i bought a mk1 Fiat uno turbo. It had a small fuel leak so the engine would cut out at higher rpm. Its a tuned engine (taking 1.2 bar) and the car itself will take some restoring before it can be driven. About three days ago i started it up and it was only going on 3 cylinders, then the next day i could only start it while pressing the gas pedal to the metal and even if it started it only slowly rotated for as long as i was pressing the throttle. After that i did a check and i had spark but the fuel pump wasnt working. Today i discovered that the spark was gone aswell. I replaced the coil and air flow meter, no effect. the ecu`s seem to be fine and the fuel pump works if bridged straight from the battery. Could the leak have caused something like this? I still havent localised it. The Fuel pump control relay was changed and the fuses are all ok.
What shall i do?
Please help!
