Hemz 0 Posted November 19, 2004 Having let my girlfriend take my corrado while at work she filled my baby with 4star lead replacement when i got home the car will not start, saying this i have had recent probs with clifford con300 (no noise indications). i got told 4star would fire but run like poo i have also been told alarm can stop fuel pump working. i told my bird how to use the alarm but took for granted that she knew what juice to put in, She is now recovering from an attack from a masked man in our local hospital, apparantly the attacker was my build and wore the same size 9 timberlands as me :wink: so would the corrado fire( i know i have to drain fuel anyway) or could the alarm stop fuel pump working. If i was married id file for divorce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted November 19, 2004 which version of the 16V have you got? if it's a 1.8 it'll be fine with LRP... 8) If it's a 2.0 then it should still be OK, but may not run properly for that tanks worth of fuel, but it should still fire up and run... :? The fuel pump is often one of the circuits disabled by an alarm/immobiliser (the other two being starter and ignition) so it could well be an alarm fault... Oh, and I deleted the other 5 copies of this thread... think your POST button may have gotten stuck! ;) :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scruffythefirst 0 Posted November 19, 2004 I cant rememebr what lrp octane rating is of the top of my head, but i'm pretty sure the replacement stuff is a bit low. You could try octane booster but lrp won't do your cat any good (if you've got one) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan 0 Posted November 19, 2004 I think that the octane rating is actually higher than Unleaded as its designed to replace the old 4 star. As you say the problem will be that the lead substiture will damege the cat. Jonathan '94 VR6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubbybrown 0 Posted November 20, 2004 most of it is 98 rather than unleaded 95 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
