Pump trouble!!!! help plz
« on: December 19, 2008, 08:49:23 am »
hey guys... i have a 1.6d NA, ME engine code..... and it has been giving me trouble....
the main issue is that idle is not stable.... the revs keep varying while it is idling....
and the second issue is that whenever i rev it in any gear and press the clutch, it shuts down and takes 2 or 3 turns of the key to start.....

i think the problem is with the pump because i changed the pump recently and the varying revs at idle problem started only with the new pump, and while the shutting down after high revs problem used to happen before as well, sometimes that is....

the pump is sucking large amounts of air in from one of the fuel lines i believe.
