Hello,
The other day my VX refused to start, disconnecting the fuel line, turning the engine over and no petrol coming out pointed at two things: fuel pump buggered or relay/fuse. I checked the fuse, fine. I swapped the relays out with some spares and the car started! Sweet I thought.
Went back this arvo to start car... wont start. No fuel coming out while engine turning over. Relay swap came to nothing, fuse was fine.
So, before I drop the tank, purchase a special bloody tool to remove the fuel lines, then purchase a new fuel pump... is there something else that could cause the pump to occasionally work? Or is it pretty much the pump is buggered?
I checked the earth wire near the RHR wheel, its solid too.
Cheers, Gareth
