    Symptoms: cutting out at 15mins, starts up, then dies after 5 mins (this continues every 5 mins)also the sound of bubbling from tank,and noisey main pump. Please remember this car has been sat in a barn for year. (Spiders still making appearances)

    Right people, problem sorted. It turned out to be the one way valve on the fuel pump unit. It was seized closed, so the lift pump was working over time, heating up and shutting down. Hence the car cutting out. Pump swap, fuel unit cleaned & 1 way valve cleaned / working and it's good to go. I wanted to let you know the outcome and cause of my problems. Hate when people don't update/solution to problems.

    When Tank was cleaned out, no water present and little debri removed.

     

    Accumulator was not changed. But I did have all the fuel unit off and blow all the lines through.

     

    Pressure in system is good, I did crack the banjo off and it sprayed well.

     

    I swapped the dizzy with a different one off my mates car that was running fine. No difference made.

     

    Not tried the lambs sensor (something new to try)

    Right guys, would really appreciate some advice.

     

    I got a 67k Corrado, which has been off road for 12 odd years, sat in a shed. I brought it as a nonrunner.

     

    Once cleaned up, I noticed someone previous to me had messed with the electrics (after market alarm and Imm)

     

    I put a good battery on it and the Igintion lights came on and all electrics worked fine. Turned the key and nothing, so by passed the alarm system and the engine turned over but no fuel pump buzzing.

     

    Took the intank pump out and put power to it, this was dead, so replaced.

    Underside pump was also dead and replaced this aswell. Inc new fuel and feul filter.

     

    After a few turns (build up pressure) it started and run beautifully, a little smokey to start with.

    Changed the oil n filter...cambelt was not great and cracking, replaced this and the tensioner, drive belt and power steering belt.

    Refreshed the power steering fuild also.

     

    Right, the problem...

    Start the car and let it run, cars up to temp, fans kick in about 3 times and the car cuts out.

    Turn the key, car starts and runs for about 5 mins and cuts out again...(continuous problem)

     

    The underside pump has got noisey again, like fuel starvation. Checked the lift Pump but this is working fine....(???)

     

    Spark is fine.

     

    Things I have replaced and changed:

    ECU,

    Dizzy,

    Cap and rotors arm,

    Leads & plugs,

    Both pumps (lift pump twice)

    Fuel filter

    Fuel

    Flushed lines out,

    All injectors sparking fine,

    Ecu pump relay

    Igintion swtich

     

    I'm really confused with this one, trying to get hold of a metering head to try this....

     

    Before someone asks, Ive had this problem for a few months and tried to read everything I can about this problem on the forums, but just can't get to the bottom of it. It's such s lovely car, with full vag history and low miler.

     

    Got to be someone who can help me, I'm in Birmingham and willing to pay if you can fix it.... I want to enjoy it while the weathers good. Anyone near Birmingham with a metering head, please get in touch.

     

    Thanks for reading, looking forward to your help.

     

    Could I have a faulty underside pump? It's borsch and brand new?

     

    Cheers bob

    Tried this, notice the metering head is getting fuel in but nothing is coming out of the top (into lines). The pin underneth moves freely and the flap works fine.... Any thoughts? Fifth injector is getting fuel & spraying as normal, hence the car trying to start on this.

    Hi guys,

     

    Recently got myself a corrado again, trying to test the injectors on the car. I know the old fashion way (same as mk1 golf) but its not working.

     

    1.Bridge fuel pump relay (two major spades)

    2.Ignition on

    3.Lift metering flap

     

    this is not working ....what am I doing wrong and is this the right test for a 16V 2.0 9A?

     

    if not please tell me how i do it or a link?

     

    I have searched net, but can not find anything

     

    many thanks in advanced....

     

    bobby
