Fuel Presure Fault

Yes as above have tried 3 - 4 pumps in it from cars that didnt cut out, its even got a walbro upgrade pump in it currently..

my next port of call tbh was to check to seee if the inertia switch or brown relay is burnt or has a loose connection but when i did check the supply at the lift pump a few weeks ago it was within tolerances.

You could potentially have some bad wiring which is being moved when you go around a corner, but that's not very likely.

If you had different leak off values before and you're now getting bad cold starts I would almost certainly look at the injectors. That's always the first sign that there's a problem when you get a bad dle and white smoke when cold. Also the cutting out under load can be due to bad injectors but this is less common.

I have drained the tank and started a fresh thinking it may have been dodgy fuel which did help but it still cuts out...

I thought possibly injectors but i do not get any white smoke and it isnt really down on power, it is slightly but i know my maf was playing up and i have that to change..

Yes Poodle i have all i get is Fuel Rail Pressure, which i presume is when it looses pressure and the ecu cuts the car out with a jolt which doesnt really help pinpoint the fault..

I am thinking of starting again tbh, with the realy and inertia switch and check wiring readings at the lift pump and also try moving wiring to rule that out..

I may try and get hold of another rail sensor and fpr, althought tempted to take the one of the moonstone which runs fine and do the cambelt and stick that in and see what happens..

If it still doesnt play ball realistically its only the injectors left and failing that it shall have to be scrapped as its been like it far too long and im reluctant to take it anywhere as its a nightmare to live with..
