ok cool, thanks.
Can you think of a reason why the pump wouldnt prime then.
the problem has stemmed from the main relay i think, its been playing silly bu**gers for the last 2 days, i can drive, then the rev counter drops, the car cuts out, then it comes back again. i know the main relay is cr*p because its one from my old car that overheated and melted, i kinda bodged it as it wasnt as knackered as the original one out of the car.
Since then its been ok, but now its playing up, once the car has stalled i cant restart, and i cannot hear the pump priming. I have since removed the main relay and replaced with 2 switches until i can get a relay.
the only thing i can think of is the coil circuit also provides an earth for the fuel pump relay coil.
Would i be right in saying that??
thanks

Mike
