[QUOTE="ollandroverman, post: 4874502, member: 2015"] The symptoms sound just like i had a few years ago. Mine was the injector seals failing, but not so badly and it would only manifest itself as sometimes not starting instantly, and reducing its power down and down until cutting when fuel demand was highest. Firstly, when it is playing up, if you turn on the ignition (but don't start the engine), then press the throttle to the floor and back four or five times, it starts the fuel system purge cycle. This means the pump will run on and off for five minutes. You may be able to hear the pump whine louder on and off as air goes through it. If it settles down to running more quietly as the cycle nears completion it means there is air getting into the system. Most likely through the injector seals, though as [USER=965]@roscoe erf[/USER] suggests, it could be at the filter, or one of the hose joints on the suction side between the filter and the intank pump. The injector washers are very easy to do, cost little, and can be done within a couple of hours. [/QUOTE]
