Completely agree Chris :thumbsup:

Good to see it sorted Donna.

Hi Guys
Guess what? It worked with new fuel pump for 5 minutes but cut off again and its getting a spark and the fuel pump has been tested and working fine. Could the temperature sensor stop it from firing over? Any ideas folks as back to square one?
Cheers

Fuel pump continues to run? Or is something knocking the fuel pump relay out?

[thomp1983]

a failed temp sensor would make it run rich I doubt it'd stop it starting. they can be tested with a multimeter. back to the start what is the exact problem? turns over but fails to start? also how many times has it been started left running a few minutes then stopped and the same repeated? it's possible it's flooded

Back to basics.

If you hard wire the fuel pump to be always on, does it run then?

If you remove the fuel return and stick it in a fuel can, with the pump hard wired does it continue to pump fuel?

Hi Everyone I had a similar problem when I first try to start my v6 it wood run for 5min and then stop leave it cool down and it would start again so i phone God And told me it was Earth strapped connecting in the wrong place , done the fix and it run ok ever since. The reason it run for only five minutes was the temperature sensor when it got hot there was no
Earth so check the earth on top of the engine.???? I hope this helps

Hi Adam, wouldn't dream of having you pay for the repairs but if you get a chance to speak to Paul please ask him if I can still bring the car down,
