VR s2 Acclaim/VK IS GONE :(
hello,
I have a fuel injected 6 in my vk and when i try to start her up she just won't run. When i normally start her up she'll start fine with just a couple of taps on the gas and it'll start fine and will sit there all day running.
Now when i try i have to hold the gas flat to keep her running:confused:
Is it just because the is F#*k all fuel in her or something worse?
P.s i have not ever ran her dry Before.

You have to keep the gas flat to keep it running... what do you have to keep it at (RPM wise) when you do?

(does sound fuel related... could be dodgy pressure, blocked filter, pump crapped itself...)

Did it just 'happen' or was it a gradual process?
