Did you do a leak test?

[bilko0795]

Yes did leak test nothing showing, will order the fpr also couple of work mates said when they are behind me there is a strong smell of burnt fuel I use Tesco momentum so I told them it’s probably that.

Moved the car today after changing fpr, car was ticking over and just stalled couldn’t start it it for a few minutes then all ok took it for a spin as said no issues

[Error404]

Probably a small air lock in the fuel rail after changing it.

[Bowie69]

Yes, takes a while to clear if the rail is empty.

That’s exactly what I was thinking !

Ive had the same code since doing a top end rebuild and turbo swap. Ive swapped almost everything from MAF to FPR and everythjng in between lol. Only thing ive not swapped out is the pump. Car runs fine and there are no big issues. Fuel pressure is higher then what it shoild be...im sitting between 56-58psi at idle. Could be a bad return line causing a spike in fuel pressure, hell could still be a boost leak somewhere. The car is not a daily so its parked for winter. Ill attack this in the furure at some point.

pretty much going to live with it for now. I have plans to build the engine more or replace with a built engine in the future.

im interested to see what come of this thread though.

[bilko0795]

I will change the pump shortly mine also sits in the garage over winter it’s only done 200 miles in 2 yrs

[Morris400]

I try to put as many miles on my car in summer...this past summer i managed 4k KM.
