2.5 Fuel starvation?

Post by endorfin » Wed Jan 02, 2013 2:02 pm

As you may have read I broke down in November and had to be relayed back by the AA after an apparent fuel starvation issue. I assumed it was the fuel filter diaphragm gone porous. The other day I finally had time to get around to trying to find the problem. I connected a clear inline filter in place of where the main fuel filter goes to try and eliminate that but the problem is still there.

The car with run, sometimes will cut out but if you try to drive it under load or beyond 2000rpm it feels like there's a fuel blockage.

I removed the tank strainer which had a bit of gunk around the pick up and cleaned it up but it hasn't solved the problem, is there another filter anywhere along the way that could be blocked?

There doesn't seem to be any air appearing in the window of the clear inline filter and fuel seems to be flowing through.
