• Peugeot 806 MPV (1995 - 2003) - 01 2.0 Fuel pressure sensor fault 21 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  cannot re-start the car straight away as you have to wait for the ecu to turn on the fuel lift pump (the one that sits in the tank) which can take 30 secs once the car has cut out. You can hear a relay switch on the right handside of the engine bay and then the fuel lift pump comes on and the car starts

  Hi everyone Been having a problem recently with my 406. Had a second hand fuel tank fitted after the old one was vandalised and this seems to be when the problems started. At idle it runs very poorly and even when I drive it there is a heavy crackling noise. I think it is missing

  to fuel pump relay not functioning. It works if we earth the yellow & brown cable which goes from connection 85 of the relay to connection 7 of the ignition control unit. Manual suggests "fuel supply will be shut off" if there is a high water temp, or other fault which turns off ignition, but I assumed
• Mazda Mazda 6 (2008 -) - 08 2.0d erratic fuel consumption 28 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  I have had a 2008 Mazda 6 diesel for a year. The fuel consumption in general is very good until the car decides to rev higher than normal. I keep the computer set for average fuel consumption because of the infuriating problem the car has. On a long journey the mpg gradually increases and then all
• Every cloud.... fuel prices. 2 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  I'm struck by the number of surveys, statistics & anecdotals showing people adapting to rising fuel prices by using their vehicles less frequently and/or driving them more efficiently when they do. The latest surprising statistic is that the 'school run' is losing favour - apparently more kids

  Hi im lookin for some advice. Iv only had my 206 GTI hDI 110 for around a month now. At first i was very happy with the fuel economy! The last few days whilst driving all of a sudden the fuel consumption drops to between 38-42mpg. (yes on instant MPG) when this happens the average MPG drops down
• Citroen Berlingo Multispace (1998 - 2010) - 1996, 1.9d, fuel pump/ immobiliser 22 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  i am looking at this for a friend - he had the immobilser by-passed by his local garage. A ignition-switched supply was connected to one of two leads to the fuel-cut off solenoid - behind the cover on the lucas fuel pump. Several other wires in this region (not all) were cut at the same time

  down to the year. We have identified the most probable cause being no fuel getting to the engine, the reason being that upon disconnecting the injector pipes only minimal fuel drips out where it should be considerably greater, somewhat squirting out. I have checked for a spark and there is one
• Vauxhall Corsa B (1993 - 2000) - 1993 1.5d Bleeding Diesel fuel filter 27 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  My hubby has a 1.5D Corsa, on which he changed the fuel filter yesterday. According to the manual, there is a bleed screw on the top of the filter housing, which you bleed until it flows with diesel, to ensure no air in the system. He tried this, even taking the screw right out instead of the 2
• Peugeot 205 (1983 - 1997) - 1.9 GTi overfuelling 10 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  I have a 205 gti 1.9 which is massively overfuelling! I have changed the pressure regulator, air flow meter, fuel pump relay even the ecu and it still pumps a ridiculous amount of fuel into the rail, therefore flooding the barrels. The car is a 1.6 body and gearbox with a 1.9 engine, since

  - it is. Checked the fuel pump - No power was going to the fuel pump I then bridged the fuel pump relay and the fuel pump ran OK (didn't try starting the car in case I damaged anything) From this I concluded (rightly or wrongly) that either the fuel pump relay is not working or the relay is not receiving

  , but the car now will not run. The engine turns over, fires and runs for about 3-5 secs then cuts out. When the ignition is turned on you can hear the fuel pump running and after the engine dies the fuel pump still appears to be going. If carburettor cleaner is sprayed down the air intake, the engine
