hi i was really hoping somebody can help me out here, im busy restoring my 205 1.9 gti 1988 model. i currently banned form driving so its my project, i have bean strating it up and letting her run for about 10 mins a day, but one i ran out of fuel, i filled up my petrol can before i put it in the tank i was doing a bit engine clean up making all the metals shine again, i had the fuel rail off ect. and clean it up with a wire brush, any way i put my petrol in the tank and started it up the car was ideling at 2000 rpm and eventually dropped to normal and started missing hugely when i rev it it wont go past 4000rpm and when it hits 4000 it misses hugely and you can hear popping in the exhaust and it stinks which leads me to belive its over fueling ive checked the spark and they seem to be working fine. also i should say that since this is happening my fuel pump has gone mega loud i thought it was starving of fuel but i dont no any more..... please help, thanks. lee

if you have removed the fuel rail it sounds like you have disturbed an injectot O ring causing a big air leak. this will make it idle fast cold & misfire hot. Have you got the fuel pipes connected correctly & the right way round ?
|
you ran it out of petrol
the pumps gone loud
it struggles to rev up
i would suspect fuel starvation due to the pump
by the way why would you rev it up to 4 big ones when not under any load

thanks for the replys guys,, well i think i may have put the pipe that come from the fuel filter with the banjo on that may be on the rong way but i cant see it doing wht it is beacuase of that, i suspected a injector to be honist will i have to replace them?
i also suspected fuel starvation what will cause that, would it help if i put basically a full tank of fuel in? i only reved it a few times just to see if it would help i was trying everything i thought off.
so what do youse think i should do or check ect. thanks, lee

ah also when i 1st start it it starts up no problem and idles at 2000 rpm hen falls after a minute then itll miss but if i rev it to about 1500 - 2000 itll not miss at all alough you can hear the unburnt fuel in the exhaust. lee

I am not one of the BR technical wizards, by a long chalk, but might the running out of fuel taken all the crud from the bottom of the tank and sucked it into the fuel system?Pipes, filter and pump + perish the thought, the fuel injectors?
|
|
i thought it was that maybe but i removed the injectors wile still attached to the rail and i turned the engine over and they seemed to be working fine but that wouldnt tell me anything just by doing that its a real shame because other than this fault the car looks like it just came from peugeot in 1988 very clean car

ive checked all my sparks n they all seem fine, ive also had the fuel pressure regulator off today i was told if i were to suck or blow throught one of the spouts i should feal it from another spout but if not its stuck shut and will be causing it to over fuel, is this true?

hi ive noticed a problem with my 1.9 gti ive noticed when i start the car with everything in tact itll not start due to overfueling, however if i disconnect the pump plug itll start up no problem and run for a around 20 second untill it run out of fuel in the lines, ive replaced the pressure regulator, air flow meter, and all the sparks are fine, but ive no idea what is causeing this and getting very fustrated with it, can anybody help me?

hi can anyone help me out iv had a recent over fuelling problem with my 205 gti, ive changed all sorts such as pressure regulator, rail, and all electricals coil, leads, spark plus ect. im hoping ive narrowed it down to a pump or relay but cant be sure and money is extremely tight so i cant go buying all sorts, you can hear the fuel pump working when you 1st turn on the ignition so does any one think it could be a relay or is there anything else that can cause this faul. lee
{lots of questions relating to the same car with the same problems - all merged into the one thread in the hope that previous suggestions can be seen and not repeated}

The fuel pump and relay will not cause an over-fuelling condition.I suggest you take a look at the coolant temp sensor (rear of engine,behind #4 cyl,g/box end).Also check earth connections on top of gearbox.hth

cheers mate ill take a look at it and order one asap, ive hurd these are very common, anything else that can cause this fault. lee

my little 205 gti is becoming a pain and was wondering if someone can help its recently developed a horrible misfire which i asume its over fueling, ive changed the pump, relay, injectors, fuel filter, h.t leads, spark plugs and dizzy cap but it stil misfires its also kicking a load of blue smoke out and stinks of petrol ive noticed when its eventually decided to run if i take the vacume pipe off the regulaor that goes into the inlet manifold it will run a little better and then it just dies if i stop reving it, also it will be a huge pain to start if the pump is connected as it should be but if it disconnect it it starts fine alough still runs very rough.
can anybody offer me advice im going bauld pulling my hair out.

1st thing i gather its a petrol engine,
If its blue smoke coming out of the back, this is oil,
Black is soot/petrol, white is Steam/Water
is it using oil and is it using water? if so it *could* be cracked block, or the head gasket has gone.
|
|
not using oil or smoke i thought it may be a head
|
|
oil or water i mean sorry
