Engine power is getting cut *FIXED*

[vRS Carl]

Could i of damaged anything whilst cranking the engine to get it started ? Obviously it took a while for the engine to start once the valves were swapped over.
Once they did start it struggled to keep alive, gave it a few minutes and the engine starts first time perfect/ idles perfect.

Might have been an idea to have the ignition on and open the drivers door for 5-10 secs and repeat a couple of times as this primes the fuel system.

However i doubt that would cause damage. It's only the same as running out of fuel

I also did this a few times.

my option is the low pressure sensor which im getting tomorrow. touch wood its that!

I also did this a few times.

In that case you shouldn't have caused any damage. Fingers crossed it's the low pressure sensor

do you have an engine cover on yours eric??

if so is that the sensor thats ontop?? because the apr fuel pump internal installation is for an audi A4 iirc and peoples have broken once the engine cover was installed needing a new sensor due to it cracking

[ktlstar]

I havent mate, no engine cover!

:(

[liver]

thats me all out of ideas then unfortunatly

hope you get it sorted soon, i'll keep ym eye on this as im fitting pump internals next week hopefully

Yeah, youll know about it, just when you go past 3500rpm its like someone has put the brakes on. Felt like my starlet when it had fuel cut to save the engine.

Yours should be ok, take your time fitting it!

I will try the pump test later tonight, do i want to hear it click i assume (knowing its working)
 

Yup

[ktlstar]

What is the part that is behind the manifold, and has a hose coming from the PCV down into it ? Is this the fuel regulator-  I remember trying to remove it to get clear some space to get a spanner for the valve ? Another possible suspect!

I had this the other month. Happened a few times, then car started cutting out altogether. Turned out to be the in tank pump with mine.
It's worth driving about for a while logging the low pressure pump, that's how I found mine.
It might not be the same with your car, but worth checking anyway

[ktlstar]

What measuring block is this dude ? How could i have screwed this up whilst fitting the valve ?

Thanks for your input !

Think it's 103. Mine went for no apparent reason. I had a faulty low pressure sensor aswell afterwards, gave an error code and engine light, but no apparent difference to power was noticed

[ktlstar]

I see, my car just cuts power / limp mode as soon as i hit 3600rpm. as you see from the logs the fuel actual drops to 2 :(

thanks dude

Think it's 103.

Yup that's correct...

here is one of my logs with a poorly in tank pump
