I tried the turning the car to reds and listen for the fuel pump, it stopped within the 3sec and I checked the regulator and that seemed fine. I car will start fine if i've been driving it to operating temp then turn it off and leave it for about 15min after that it's the accelerator thingo. However when i listened for the fuel pump it sounded like it was sucking air although the tank was half full, sounding like someone sucking the last bit out of a milkshake. Any ideas there? Is the fuel pump strainger got a weight to hold it down?
the sucking air noise is most likely the sound of the fuel going back into the tank from the regulator....it now sounds like the opposite problem - more fuel is diverted to the return line than into the fuel rail...keep testing buddy.
