Help!!

My fd ran out of fuel, i put fuel in but it will nit start, there is spark & it turns over but wil not fire, i thought it may be flodded but when i took out plugs they were dry so it looks like its not getting fuel, i took out fuel pump & connected to battery & it works fine but the fuel does not seem to be gettong to the engine?

if it ran out of fuel it will take a couple of minutes of turning over to refill the fuel filter and fuel lines before it gets to the engine

[Eoiny555]

Ive turned it over more than enough for the fuel to come through but still nothing

You could have sucked a lot of crud into the fuel filter !

take of the fuel line that goes into engine, put it in a coke bottle and turn over with coil pack unplugged and see if any comes out, if not your fuel filter or lines are blocked, if it does then maybe blocked injectors, at least you can see if there\'s any crap in it.

PS did you fill u with petrol or diesel lol

Where is this fuel line located? & where do i plug out the coil pack? No its deffo petrol lol

Disconnected a fuel line under the uim by the oil dipstick & fuel comes through when cranked so looks like it may be the injectors, goong to try get them now

[jamison1982]

what was the fuel like, any crap in it,

firstly mate i would take out the plugs and see if they are wet, could be flooded maybe.

try that before taking out the injectors as i believe you need to take of the uim

[Eoiny555]

The fuel in the tank looked very clean when i took out the pump, i horiginally thought it was flooded but when i took out the plugs they wer bone dry, have the uim off now & have located 1 injector but am having trouble finding the rest with the rats nest, the fuel rail seems to have fuel in it though, do all injectors fire on atartup or is it just primarys?

[Eoiny555]

Took out the 4 injectors, stripped them & soaked in acetone for 24 hours then in a 50/50 mix of petrol & redex injector cleaner for 24 hours, put hem back in today and she eventually started with a few big puffs of smoke but seems to be running ok now

[wolfie1]

well at least you got it going again! :driving

well done mate

[Eoiny555]

well done mate

Cheers fella, shes running better now than she was before :burnout

I guess if you were running constantly for 20 years without a break like those injectors then im sure you would be tired as well, glad its sorted

[Eoiny555]

Problem is back again, she started last time after i cleaned injectors. Left her sitting for about a week & went to start again & the same thing turning over but not firing, thought injectors wer blocked so again took them out & cleaned them & put a new fuel filter on but still nothing
 
Ive removed both fuel rails & tested, all 4 injectors are firing properly, the specified amounts of fuel, im gonna put them back in tomorrow & try again
 
Any other suggestions why it wont start? its not flooded
