Well, looks like i am going to be doing the fuel pump relay rewire!!

Hmm but if the engine has run lean doesn\'t that mean a rebuild anyway?

Anyone ever done this re-wire before as i am having problems with it as it is written with for the turbo model it is also a American write up so wire colours are different!?!

m1tch · April 26, 2008, 02:13:13 PM

im just thinking cause if the car was ok, and then it started playing up it might mean it was ok and then the fuel pump decided to go..

James H · April 26, 2008, 03:50:26 PM

Help, anyone done a rewireon a n/a before???

I would replace the fuel filter first, in case its blocked before any rewiring there as cheap as chips.

Have you checked your hydrostatic fan is working correctly? They fail on a regualr basis as the cars get older and can lead to a nice little boil up :Nono!
