pump problems

[rickye]

i think the pump on my cars on its way out, but not sure if its the only problem

when starting the car in the morning, it sounds like its firing on a couple cylinders, but you have to keep the key turning it over for a gd 10 secs otherwise it cuts straight out, thinking heaters aswell but its covering the place in reek, even when warm its turning over a gd while before it fires, and when it does go has a wee lump bit for a minute or so, doesnt appear to be leaking, but gonna try priming the system before i start it after work see if it helps

also, it takes the odd notion where it feels like its holding back, dosent do it every gear, done it last night, 4th planting it, pulling well, then felt like it was holding back then took off again like normal, any ideas?

what makes me think pump is the boost's been dropping on it, when i helped set it up 2 months ago it was boosting to 22, then it dropped off but no reek on boost, the boost controllers screwed all the way in now, still only 22 psi n no reek, i have the old 11mm off my old sigma dturbo sitting, so can always through it on if this ones past it like

sorry for the essay lol, any help would be very grateful but

Could possibly be a starvation issue? Pickups or filter?
The 4thgear hold back sounds like starving it

[rickye]

yes, never thought of tht, i dont ever mind it getting a filter on this engine, ill get a filter in it tonight, and gonna replace the leak off pipes aswell, just incase it is leaking abit

[rickye]

filters help'd her abit, starts easier when warm anyway, havent had it cold but will see tomorrow morning

still holding back, and dont think its fuel stavation, screw'd it out abit more and can leave it reeky on boost no bother, screw'd it back in though as it was very reeky

any other idea's, its a 9mm pump with the gov mod, shim'd solid, wondering if its maybe not helping

Careful with your solid gov. Sounds like fuel starvation still, work back from your tank.

[rickye]

aye, ill get the lift pipe outa the tank tonight, if it is starving itself i dont wanna be putting the 11mm pump on n wrecking it, i was wondering if it might be the solid gov's but it didnt do it after we done them, only recently

the new fuel filter did help her starting abit
