My 2.8 v6 isn't wanting to start at the moment, I have scanned it and the only code I seem to be getting is 17972 (Throttle Actuator - under voltage during basic setting - Intermittent), which I suppose could just be from me pumping the throttle while cranking?
It's got an external in line fuel pump, which was noisy as hell when I bought the car, I know they're pretty noisy as it is but this sounded quite rough...
I took the fuel feed to the fuel rail off - When I turn ignition on nothing comes out (should prime, no?) and when I crank it over there's the occasional spurt of fuel (guess it should be constant while cranking?)
I did just about get it started but it was clearly struggling for fuel, lumpy as hell and cut out after 30 seconds or so.
Guessing it's either the pump or the relay, would be keen to hear which one your money would be on based on the above?
Thanks in advance chaps!
