fuel pump relay?
Hi, been trying to locate a fuel pump relay I'm using a mondeo mk2 2ltr zetec with original loom and ECU, I'm having problems finding a
fuel relay I did try an audi one but didn't work  any advise on relays that will work been around all the scrap yard the mk2 is like gold dust
to find.
This is the last thing hopefully before it will fire up

just had a thought does the system need to be bled through first like on a diesel?

Thanks its sorted now, but I've got different problems the starter motor clunks a lot every now and then as well as smokes,
the engine did fire up but died quickly and back fired, took the plugs out they were black so cleaned them and charging the battery will give it
another go tomorrow, how long is petrol good for stored? its about 6 months old

modern petrol goes off really quick, especially in hot/cold/wet conditions (but should still work)
easystart can help, but it can also blow head gaskets!
and good luck!, its also very rewarding when the engine /does/ start for the first time

6 months will be fine.

Hi
Re: starter motor sounds as if it need servicing or replacing.
certainly should not smoke , with the high amps could cause a fire.
(no disrespect) but it is the correct motor for your engine ?.
Good luck.
