Fuel problem

New at this so hopefully i get things right. Heres the problem any suggestions are greatly appriciated.
I started my car and went to drive and it cut out, when i tried to restart it it wouldnt. Turned ignition on and heard that the fuel pump was not working, checked this wasnt the problem by running alternative power supply to it, it worked and we managed to start the car and get it to idle, whenever we pressed the accelerator though the engine cut out. Thought it might be fuel injection control module not 100 percent though.

Fuel problem

I had a similiar problem with mine and the mechanic replaced the fuel pump relay which cost me a fortune but it happened again, so be careful. I have seen a similar post and the guy said that his got fixed by replacing the OVP???

I have seen this many times but I do not have the time right now to point it to you . I suggest you do a search in the forum.



Hope this helps and good luck!

Check the following items.

1. Fuel pump
2. Fuel relay
3. Injection

I had the same problem before, first changed the relay but later on found out that it was the injection. Then later on had a problem with the pump and got that replaced. But from your info, could be injection.
