1 day after posting my "Its Looking Good!" post the car had a hiccup rough idle gave it a rev and all was good, and so I shrugged it off. The next day and almost every odd day since the Engine is back to stalling unless I prime it. So time to continue with the tests:
- Firstly I'm going to go back over all the hoses and doubly / triply make sure that they are tight after settling.
- Fuel Pickup pipes and Gauze mess Give that a clean.
- Blow out the fuel lines make sure nothing is obstructing the flow of fuel
- Maybe look at replacing the fuel filter in case I'm unlucky and an obstruction has formed in there.
- Reassess my thoughts on having to do the Fuel Pump Seals.
On the bright side, it will keep me entertained a little while longer :) As usual I'll keep you all posted on my tests and results doing one thing at a time till I sort it.
But as I sit here and think, (pray more like it) and shaking my head, I'm still positive its not the seals. I just had 3 weeks of no issues during plenty of -5 degree C cold frosty mornings. Hopefully one of the new pipes clamps just needs a little tightening or the fuel filter has got clogged (please god not with oil ??????)
Regards
Mark
