1.8 / 16v Fuel Accumulator

Recommended Posts

Replaced a fuel pipe in the engine bay due to excessive corrosion (Fuel distr to cold start valve)

 

Car not starting now (eek) It did start & run beforehand.

 

Have bleeded the fuel system and fuel is now plentiful at the fuel distributor.

 

No spark from HT side of coil, but 12v present at LT side.

 

Can a coil just stop working when sat in the garage?

 

Also noticed prev owner has done away with the fuel accumulator under the car, to the front of the drivers rear wheel. The fuel pipe now routes directly from the fuel pump to the filter, then fwd to the engine. What effect is this having on the fuel system by taking the accumulator out?

 

Thanks guys.

sounds like a problem i had with mine, only in reverse. my distributor fell apart. changed it. wouldnt start. spent next week changing every part of ignition system, only to realise my fuel distributor had magically died. anything is possible. borrow a coil off somone and try it.
