Description
Your help please guys, firstly in identifying the fuel pump, which we think is faulty causing the engine to cut out.
The car is an MK Indy, now with a Blackbird engine previously a Ford crossflow we suspect. There is no marking on the pump at all.
Any idea of make or what it is from? What does anyone else use?
The issue we have appears to be two-fold. Recently the engine would stall when taking a sharp right-turn, i.e. into a junction. This we thought was perhaps the tip sensor off the bike, which is still in the loom having been put back in the wrong position (the car has been partially re-built). Having checked the tip sensor, and re-positioned it, it ran ok for about half a mile, (no right turns) but then developed a dreadful cut out. It will die for a couple of seconds, then come back to life, only to do the same repeatedly. With the previously mentioned right-turn issue, it is necessary to turn the ignition off then on again for the engine to start again, but not the straight line cut out. That’s why we believe this issue is maybe fuel related whereas the other would appear to be electrical. Any thoughts or ideas?
Sorry I put this in the wrong section to start with.
