yep, I'd pull the feed off the rail just to confirm.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Worth the try ? I have no idea how the inside of a swirlpot works ? Is it just a tank with inlet/outlet connections ? |

 The back one is the supply yes? Surely if they were on the wrong way round it wouldn't start on the low pressure pump either |

yup, top is feed, bottom is return, you can see it on mine here, feed goes to front rail then up to the standard fuel rail where the FPR is then back to the tank, no swirl pot as the ZX has a small basic bowl integrated into it so resists fuel surge very well.[url]https://flic.kr/p/qZYfJR]  [/url]________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

well, I'd start by confirming the pipes are connected to the rail the right way round, pull the feed pipe off and fire up the HP pump on its own.a separate question that may be related, have you fixed the battery light and is it charging? wondering if the battery voltage is low and the additional load drops the voltage too low for the ecu to run. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

no I haven't fixed the battery light problem as I don't know whats wrong with it.... so you may have a point there!The little wire is on the correct terminal, iv still got to split the looms and check them and then put them back together and see if that fixs it |

Well switch the feed and return just for s**ts and giggles ? I'm sure the internal of the swirlpot is designed in such a way that supply fuel is directed to swirl round the pot ? The return isnt ? As I understand if you presureise the return it will cut out instantly ? |

What voltage are you getting at the battery when car running ? Should be around 14v if alt is working correctly ? I did recently have a prob on a 205 with a bad alt - no battery light at all and wasn't prividing a proper amount of electric ? New alt sorted all problems |

not had the engine running long enough to check voltage yet as I didn't want it running lean or rich for too long for obvious reasons |

I had issues with my Efi back in the day needing a new alt as old one wasn't up to the job ? Longmans changed it for a brand new unit when they were doing the mapping. I'd say that was a good starting point as something is not right ? You can run the engine long enough to check voltage bud ? |

Start it up check voltage turn off again 14.5v is a decent charge. Surely all it needs to idle safely is standard lift pump don't see how it would be running lean enough to cause damage unless it was boosting. Havnt watched the vid but if it's as much of an instant death as soon as you connect the 044 as you say then it sounds electrical not fuel pressure related.________________________________________ Black power baby!

I can't remember the exact details as it was a long time ago now, but I remember having a fairly new alternator on my high boost and tried transferring it to the super high boost when I built that but the casing fouled the bigger supercharger bracket.Rich explained that the newer alternators didn't fit and he had to source me one from an older '6' which would fit instead. Just thought I'd mention that in case you thought sod it and ordered a new one to find it didn't fit. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
