28v6r 0 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Ahhh....It could be....The dreaded Fuel relay problem whereby it heats up, cuts out then cools and allows restart OR when was the last time you changed the fuel cartridge? OR the fuel regulator on the injection rail.Regards28v6r Link to post Share on other sites

DundeeDub 0 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 don't really want it to be that happening, still if it is and writs off the engine at least the insurance might help out a little Link to post Share on other sites

eViL 0 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 dude. have you looked inside a VR6 MAF yet? I wouldn't fancy cleaning those super-delicate wires! From what I've read, cleaning doesn't help anyway.If it's f00ked, it's f00ked. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 You can change the fuel pump relay yourself (the tricky bit is identifying which one it is). The fuel filter is doable, but not that easy without a ramp or axle stands as its under the car close to the OSR wheel. Link to post Share on other sites
