Evening all,
Having a bit of a problem with my bosch pump and veg atm. Last week car got real sluggish and wouldn't rev, changed fuel filter, no difference, checked in tank filter..bunged, cleaned it, still a bit of a problem, new filter, and all was good for 200 odd miles. Driving home from work today, 100 miles, noticed it getting a bit sluggish at times, it sort of just suddenly goes flat and doesnt rev higher, last 10 miles it had frig all power.
Took a note at one point, at 2500rpm, I can put foot flat to the floor and hold it, it doesn't accelerate, and yet doesn't smoke at all. So I'm thinking I'm not getting fuel obv, find it hard to believe that things can have been that bad to block another filter that quick, o and I've been running veg for a year, but had maybe a month off it there.
Before I've noticed it getting really smokey when the filters done (something I could never figure) but this time its clear. Could it be the vane pump or something buggered inside the pump. Certainly seems fuel related as at times if I'd boot it up the gears it would suddenly die at the top of 3rd.
So do I just try another new filter again, and any easy way to help keep fueling?
I'm currently running an 11mm gov modded and ground lda pump and td04 which had been going very well until this!
Sorry for the essay, just trying to be clear!

Gov modded 11mm Bosch + Standard turbo = 137.2bhp . . . . TD04 now in...time to get playing!
