Hi Guys,
Quick question.....
My brother has an DC5R, its fuel gauge had been inaccurate since he has had the car.
The other day we took out the fuel sender which is housed in the same cradle as the fuelpump.
We found that the cardle had broken off the actual bracket and the cradle just sits at the bottom of the fuel tank, hence the bad fuel gauge.
Anyway, we replaced it with another cradle which we bought in good working order and put the old fuel pump in it.
Set it up the same way. Replaced it the same way, but now the bastard wont start.
We double checked and triple checked everything and it seems to be in order.
When cranking the engine sometimes runs for a few seconds but majority of the time just back fires???
Appreciate any suggestions???
And yes I have check to see if there is fuel coming out at the fuel rail...trust me theres heaps.
Confused..............?????
