3CX fuel issue

Post #1 by kerniki » Fri Jan 27, 2012 1:46 pm

after deciding to give our 89 grey cab a fluid & filter change I wish I'd left well alone!

after changing the fuel filters I was left what i thought was air in the system, having tried priming, cracking off the injectors & pressurising the tank, I still have no signs of life :(

I did read another post that suggested the stop valve in the pump could be a possibility? maybe with me operating the priming leaver something has stuck inside?

any other suggestions?

really peed off right now :(

further investigation, fuel is getting from pump to filter, then onto the injection manifold but nothing after here so not getting to actual injectors?

fixed

numpty owner before had done some VERY dodgy wiring on the top of the inj manifold which got disrupted on replacing the fuel filter, soldered & heat shrunk, all fired up!
