Re: N/A Mk2 - Engine dies after 30 seconds

So I bypassed the fuel pump relay by connecting fp and +b in the diagnostic box and it didn't die. Gave that a go, and I can hear the fuel pump churning away perfectly happily in the tank, however it still doesn't run. Have traced it down to a fuel issue though, as it'll run perefectly happily on b...

Re: N/A Mk2 - Engine dies after 30 seconds

So coil has now been replaced, and unfortunately the issue is still occuring. I think I'm leaning towards it being a fuel issue now, I took the air filter off so it was getting as much oxygen as it could do.

N/A Mk2 - Engine dies after 30 seconds

Hi everyone, I’ve been lurking on the forums since I picked up my Rev2 SW20 about 2 months ago. And now she’s dead. So, I’m in a bit of a predicament where my dream car and temporary daily driver is completely out of action, I’ve attempted a bunch of stuff as below to no joy, and so I turn to you wo...
