Default It's dam well Packed up,!

Well on way to tennis tonight , about. 3 miles up the road brief flash of the old engine warning symbol , engine cuts out , coast to stop .

All dash lights up correctly other than green engine symbol and engine turns over fails to start

Breakdown guy suspected fuel pump and that does have legs , no fuel pressure at fuel rail , and no sound of pump running , fuse Ok and power either side of fuse .

So any body else had the fuel pump fail like,this ?

Other than that any other ideas for the weekend other than kick the tyres and drink a beer

Oh and no nasty noises , no oil everywhere, no holes in block and it turns over just fine

I knew some one would ask about fuel ! Yes about. 4 bars showing and in sixteen years would only worry at 1 or zero .

Fool more like a silly billy , I suppose the gauge could suddenly throw hissy fit and read seriously out . Will check just to keep you happy Notts!

Did run out once lots of coughing and spluttering and as I recall no nasty lights

Flanders , thanks for that tip , interesting will take a look at that at the weekend , and check out the relay operation , connections and feed to the pump.

Don't fancy costs of new pump , bit harsh being UK Honda , if it is the pump will look for 2nd hand , relay won't be a big issue one way or another .

Careful what you wish for, that relay is more expensive than a new Walbro pump.
Might be a bit easier to swap the relay though
