I have had a lot of time this w/e but had a short play around yesterday.
I am not convinced about the fuel pump but bow to you Guys greater experience on these.
What does confuse me is that this only happens once the car is, that is once the cooling fan has run a couple of times. I am sure what heat related item might be relevant here. I tried disconnecting the pre exhaust sensor but that had no effect.
With the cover plate off the fuel pump I could hear it ticking regularly at about every second, but as the engine heated up it gradually slowed till the engine stalled. Quickly blipping the throttle could not catch it. Checked the temperate on the top of the pump but was only a couple of degrees warmer than the tank.
I have read somewhere on this forum that not all the sensors are activated when cold so allowing it to run rich until up to temp. Does this have any bearing?
Thoughts please?
