[Mk2] [NA] Fuel starvation problem - ideas please!

Post by Caz »

Car went into the garage for new wheel bearing and to mot tested and my fault I hadn't put enough fuel in it. Boy left it running for 15 minutes and it died, I popped down with a couple of canisters of fuel and now it won't run properly. Can get it started and it rev's but loses them straight away and then cuts out.

No engine management light comes on to run diagnostics on it. We've checked the fuel pump which seemed to be getting fuel in, not sure if its a two stage? Possibly from running out of fuel dragged gunk in and caused a blockage somewhere?

Grateful of any ideas what it is that needs sorted!
