Fresh rebuild, now won't start

Fuel pump.! Pressure is? You have already noticed reduced flow. Could be baffle around filter on pump inside the fuel tank has come loose. This causes the fuel pick up pipe to bend and reduce the fuel pressure/flow.

Pretty sure ive said fuel pump already.... So have others.

Hmm some positive news so far for once! This evening I;

cleaned fuel pump terminal

loosened fuel cap to allow tank to breath ( thought maybe if breather was blocked it would cause a vacuum in the tank)

Took battery out - cleaned earth and blew out main wiring loom making sure I clipped the thing bloody hard !

Put insulation tape around my Sub wire as was worn.

I then drove 55- 60km\'s without a problem, opposed to the usual 10km\'s.

Unsure at this stage what the actual problem was but hopefully things keep behaving.

Thanks for all the help, I\'ve wrote down a big list from everyones knowledge for future reference, hopefully won\'t be needing it with my own car again =D .

Sweet, at least it\'s sorted. Possibly the tank breather/fuel cap idea?

Either lower Tank Vacuum, so easier on a tired fuel pump. (overheating then failing).

Or the Purge Solenoid Vac hoses are around the wrong way, on the front of the Manifold beside the throttle cable attachment.

It switches the tanks breather hose to manifold vac/boost.

If the hoses were backwards your Pump will struggle when tank vac gets high. Killing your fuel off.
