Different day, same story :(

[^Mick^]

After a week of running fine its being a pig again
Spluttering and backfiring again

While the car was stationary after it had died I was stood talking to my brother and the fuel pump buzzed all by itself then about 10 sec later it did it again and a couple more times after that. Seems like i have a dodgy connection. pointers on where to look.

Also what should happen if i disconnect the throttle position sensor ? I can disconnect it and the car will drive as if i havent done anything ???

im not a happy chappy

Cant help m8!! I'm a total DOH!! When it comes to Turbo type stuff. (in quite good on old stuff tho) its gotta be one of the multitude of lekky plugs or summat like that. Good Luck m8.

Don't worry about the throttle position switch Slim i asked the same question once as mine would run ok when it was connected or not and i was told it just detects whether the throttle is at idle, or wide open in order to trim the fuel settings.

power to the fuel pump is via a relay this is connected (usually) to the ignition light this is general for most injected cars hope it helps i would check connections or replace relay
