1.8 16v no fuel at injectors

Hi, since breaking down last year I was thinking about scrapping the Corrado, too much money being spent on it and constantly things going wrong. But now the weather has got a bit better I feel like I should give it another chance.

 

Basically I was driving along and suddenly the car felt very hesitant like it wasn't getting enough fuel. Then it suddenly cut out. I managed to start it again straight away but could only keep it idling by keeping my foot on the accelerator, as soon as I tried to move off it cut out. I eventually got towed back to my house where the car has sat since.

 

Last week i decided to give it another go. I went to start the car and it ran, for about 1 second. I have checked for fuel and for spark. Spark is fine. I have fuel going to the metering head and I can hear the fuel pump prime when I turn the ignition. However, I have no fuel spraying from the injectors. I decided it must be the metering head so I bought one off ebay, fitted it and still nothing. No fuel from the injectors. The fuel line that runs down to the warm up regulator has got loads of pressure, the fuel line coming back from the warm up regulator has no pressure at all, fuel was not even dripping out.

 

My question is can a blocked/faulty warm up regulator prevent the flow of fuel to the injectors? My understanding was the warm regulator only controlled pressure during for cold starts, I didn't think it controlled the pressure of fuel the entire time the car is running.

 

Thanks for your help.
