Hi Richard,

Yes the cables in the plug are in that order.

If I can get said relay from motorfactors then I have no problem doing that.

Cheers!

Any automotive type relay will work. 4 or 5 =-pin.

Hi Richard,

I think we are closer to solving this, I changed the relay, luckily I had a yellow one and then I could see by the arcing inside that it is not the pump making the clicking as it runs, but the relay being cycled by the controller!!! It is doing that constantly and hence burned the first relays contacts out.

It is cycling at the FIDC rate exactly in time with the green FDIC light on the controller!

What do yo think?

Cheers!

Ah, I think I know what is happening. Hopfully.

Check the grey harness connection to the fuel injector. Make sure they are not reversed. The red should be on the injector (+) and Green on (-)

Hi Richard,

Sadly, the polarity is correct. the order on the plug for those wires is red(unused and cut within plug),red,green then the other coloured cables.

Cheers!

This is very strange. Can you send the controller back to me for checking. I am puzzled.

Hi Richard,

I can do that or bring it to you with the car for a double check if you like? I could leave now!

Cheers!

I will not be in the office today all day. Tomorrow or Friday will be good. Love to see the car.

Hi Richard,

Tomorrow would be great and it would be a real pleasure to meet you in person, what time should I aim to arrive at?

Dust, I am not worried, as life is always risk verses reward! And I am in capable hands. At the end of the day no one is responsible for what I want done other than me

This project has given me so much pleasure and a little knowledge, this morning I woke at 4am to go tinker, haven't been this enthusiastic about anything for years, lol. Even this set back will be a plus as I get to see ERL and meet Richard and learn and understand more.

Cheers!
