richardmorris Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 What’s next with the cx then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 The CX had a wire missing to the coil that told the ECU what was happening and the fuel pump had seized. Mike refitted the wire and @Andyrew gave the fuel pump a tap but nothing so had to jack the car and hit it with a club hammer while Mike bridged the relay so the pump ran regardless of the engine not started. Eventually after a fair number of taps it gave in and started working. Mike then let the fuel pump run for 10 minutes before we attempted to start it, first 3 cylinders then 4 cylinders and it ran cleanly and we had the header tank return pipe getting warm so everything seemed good. Mike thinks the running on 3 was a gummed injector and the fuel does smell old and stale. Just before we were ready to leave I said I just want to hear it running again, but it would not start. The fuel pump had stopped working again and no amount of tapping would bring it to life. The last job was to remove the fuel pump to get a replacement. adw1977, Skizzer, egg and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 That looks identical to the Saab ones (K-Jet system) in which case I've got one you're welcome to "borrow" for as long as you need. It was replaced in an attempt to resolve what was eventually traced to be an ignition issue. Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Fuel pump is mounted on the rear sub-frame driver's side. I think the fuel pump was working last time we worked on it. richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 I have got a new 0580 464 069 but it has got the wrong fitting. This was bought for a Volvo 740 GLE that should have banjo fittings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Mine has the banjo fitting - but a hose barb adaptor on it (was used on the Lada until the in tank one arrived). You could alternatively just rob the fittings from mine if that helps. LightBulbFun, Six-cylinder and Mrs6C 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyrew Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Chris wanted a fuel pump for the cx, I took this seriously , no joking around when it comes to fuel pumps , so the Pressure was on, and I was feeling pretty pumped up about it. Once I had got in my flow I began my search and after filtering out the rubbish I found a new one. It seems the terminals on the pumps are all bolt on now and bosch provided new crimps but that's replacement parts for You, there's always negatives and positives about these things. richardmorris, timolloyd, Skizzer and 5 others 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to strain this, how about a filter, Mann WK 613 Ebay has one at £12.62 and somebody else is offering a Mann Hummel for £8.56. Is Hummel an after market brand the seller is trying to pass off as a Mann? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
