So parked the vehicle on an incline last night, nose down, for bout 4 hrs. when it tried to start, it just turned over but would not start, almost like there was no fuel in the vehicle, i then remembered i have a spare tank (new vehicle to me) and flipped the switch, the pump ticked like it was dry, then it went quiet indicating its pumping fuel. about a minute later i pressed the accel pedal, turned the key and about 3-4 seconds later she started. drove home, about 25km.
i left the fuel pump on and by the time i got home main tank/dash gauge was showing half.
tried to start this morning and it wont start.... there is fuel in the tanks but it wont start. Again it turns over but wont start and sounds like it not getting fuel....
Being new to EFI what are the factors that will stop fuel flow?
im also now suspecting that this is the cause of my "power loss" fuel starvation....
vehicle had done high mileage, 350 000, so what are the things that need changing...??
im not sure when the timing belt was done, but ive ordered these parts. so this will be done soon. i read somewhere a while ago before i bought this vehicle about a chap who's engine wouldn't start because the timing belt had "jumped/slipped" due to the belt tensioner breaking? how common is this?
