guess what happened today, I found out why the car died! It wasn't fuel pump related at all,
it was the Inertia switch, that must have tripped and got jammed, when I went over the speed bump, for the engine to just cut out! I found this out by mistake, as I was tidying up a wire in the engine bay and saw it hanging down, I normally check it now and again. Sure enough it sounded a as though something had was ratting inside, so I pressed it and went back to normal. ( with me and my dad working on the car we must have unjammed it with the car been jacked up and let down)
so I decided to see if it would fire up, surely enough, imbo off and then the pre ignition and I heard the fuel pump prime as it would normally, and it fired into life as though f*ck all had happened! This is after I have ordered the wrong fuel pump and bought a second hand unit to build a uprated unit!
So I have bought a replacement switch as I think this one is acting up.
all this for a fuckin £8 quid switch!
heres the little bastard!
