Right so today has been a pain in the arse!

Tried to start the dimma and it was not having any of it Thumbs down

Rich came round before he headed off on his holiday and we tried a few things.

If the high pressure pump is not electrically connected the car fires into life, as soon as I put power to the 044 the engine cuts out!

I have then powered the pump directly from the battery and earthed it back to the battery to illuminate that and still the same problem!

I then disconnected the fuel lines to the rail, with just the in tank pump working I get a flow of fuel to the rail, I then connect the 044 electrically and the flow increases so the routing is correct

What else can cause the engine to die when the high pressure pump is connected

I have got a wide band but we think it's faulty! If it's cutting out due to overfueling surely it wouldn't gut out within a split second of connecting the pump

Could be that the fuel pressure regulator has failed and is not able to regulate I think

what makes you think the wideband is faulty?

Because it gave some very funky readings I believe?

Well it was only ever reading 14.5 and never moved, rich was mainly keeping an eye on it so not 100% but considering it was only running off the in tank pump I would imagine it was running mega lean and the gauge didn't show this

depends what pump you have in the tank, it was probably pumping enough for the ecu to get a good clean idle without the 044.

Shouldn't the pressure regulator stop the fuel rail from been under too much pressure?

Yes that's what points me to a faulty pressure regulator. How well does the regulator seat in the fuel rail?

Just the standard in tank pump, I thought the regulator would only allow 5 bar of pressure but not sure?
Iv put a video on Facebook of what happens

If you give a regulator too much pressure in one go they can lock up and not let anything through at all, certainly something I would look at.

I think you should look at both the fuel pressure regulator and the fuel return line? I have a 4 bar fpr I'll bring down tommorrow mate just to check?

Sounds strange, I'm not convinced you should get a flow of fuel to the rail with just the in tank pump running. In theory the pressure should be the same at the flow and return pipes in the swirl pot so no flow should take place to the fuel rail.

It could just be that there is masses too much fuel been fired in for the amount of air going in?

I guess you will get a pressure drop on the flow because the injectors are firing, and if the pressure in the pot is a bar or so then you'll get the same at the rail, which is probably enough for a clean idle. Does it rev at all with the in tank pump running? Ideally you could do with hooking up a fuel pressure gauge to see whats going on.

Would the negative pressure caused by the engine turning over not cause suction and draw the fuel from the rail, does the pump allow fluid to pass through it when its not powered??,

Yup you can rev it but rich has said to be careful and not do it cause it's obviously running lean, I do need a gauge but dont have one and dont know anyone with one!
Going to order one and see what's going on with the supply and return pressure

Going to check the return line tomorrow

Ross that would be great if you could bring you regulator

So car cuts out the instant you put power to the pump ? Or does it run for a second or 2 then cut out ?
