0230 fuel pump primary circuit FIXED

[Welshy_Pete]

Hello my car cut out a few times tonight on the way from work. But to start the car taking the fuel cap off to get it going again.

I had this problem last time the lp fuel pump in the tank. I changed this secondhand and the car been fine for 12 months. The car the last 3 or 4 days been running but slight missing here and there. I put in the computer it come up with this 0230 fuel pump primary circuit.

The engine light didnt come on for a few times then did after with this code the same also.

Failing HP pump I'd guess if you've changed the LP pump for a new one...

It was a 2nd hand LP pump though he says, so that could have failed too. I'd check that out to see if it's making noises it shouldn't, is running consistently and has good pressure.

If you have to take the fuel cap off for it to run again you need to look at your tank breathers, there will be a blockage somewhere causing a vac lock.

The lp pump primes as normal I've done 12,000 to 20,000 miles since I bought it second hand working ok £15.

I know I could swap another pump of another car I've got to see maybe again.

So to test this running consistently and has good pressure what's needed?

I have to swap the lp pump over to see what happens that will let me know.

The hp pump there supposed to be metal parts in the fuel pump housing if on the way out?

I put in the diagnostic it come up again with the pump so cleared that. 

I then put another lp fuel pump in and the problem gone the car running as it should now.
