I changed the inlet manifold on my V5 type r last weekend & have tried to start it untill lastnight & it just wont fire up.

The engine is turning over but just want start, also when i turn the key i cant here any noise from the fuel pump.

I took the battery off last night & charged it up overnight & tried to start it again today but still not starting nor can i here the fuel pump.

Any ideas guys????

 

Have you plugged in all the multiplugs properly even the ones on the driverside if they have them on your model, as that would cause the same thing

 

Hi Rob, ive double checked all plugs etc, im thinking its either a sticky or bust fuel pump or relay, going to put a meter on the fuel pump tomorrow to rule that out.

Cheers

Barry

 

could be, But seems funny its just done it since the manifold was changed. You've put the fuel pipes on the right way round ?? feed from the filter to the top ??

 

yip all fuel pipes back the way they were also.

I'll double check every thing again tomorrow, just not sure what it could be.

I also have another problem which has just started, the ignition lights are staying on after ive removed the keys.

 

bingo, Earth lead not connected

 

Dose the earth lead connect on to the top of manifold beside the fuel lines???

 

Yes theres one ontop of there. did you have anything else disconnected ??

 

DOH!!!

I have that connected but i dont think i cleaned the paint off back to the bare metal before reconnected it.

 

The Type R is alive again.

All i had to do was clean the paint off where the earth lead connected to & bang she started.

Cheers for your advice rob.

 

Nice one mate Glad your sorted out
