do you guys know where the fuel pump relay is in this model cause ive looked in the owners manual and i cant find it,im thinking it might be a relay, im waiting for it to play up again so i can check the fuel pressure and the spark when its playing up
by the way do you know what the flow rate for the fuel pump should be and the fuel pressure is spose to be
cheers steve

hey guys found out that when the car was playing up and wouldnt start it had no spark and it was the crank angle sensor at fault and it was logging a code for when it wouldnt start.thanks for the info guys

wouldnt it be crank angle sensor? (If there is one!?)
