Starting 4AGE Bigport for the first time in a while...

Managed to pick up a new pump this morning, so disaster averted (JDM tank Dove)

Will try swapping it out this afternoon and see what happens. Given it hasn't been making any noises I'm sure its the pump that's gone bad. If it isn't well no big loss, just more down time.

Cheers!

What makes u certain the pump is toast and it isn't wiring or something like that. I'd hard wire the pump first before concluding 100% it is toast.

Did that on Friday (found a post of yours from memory) - wired 12V to the plug, no noise or pressure in the lines. Checked voltages out of the COR and they are correct.

If it's not the pump I won't be too concerned because I don't know the age of the old one, so I'd probably be replacing it at some stage.

Gonna drop the tank tomorrow and swap it out - between an original AE86 engine repair manual and old posts from here hopefully its not too hard.

Thanks for the tips guys - dropped the tank this afternoon, swapped out the fuel pump and she started beautifully first go. She's back!

E10 i think has allot to answer for in terms of corroded pumps and rusty tanks. Had me questioning if it was the pump because it would start and then cut out which is most commonly the FP pin on the ecu not being connected to the open circuit relay correctly or someone blowing the transistor off the board by giving that pin 12v.

Good to see the car is running again.

Yeah I never touch E10 in the Sprinter Matt, always give it good 98 octane. One of the local fuel stations apparently has 100 octane so I'll go and check that out when it's road ready.
