I'm beginning my new project and trying to get my 1.8 started. Seller told me the dual relay was bad, and I've replaced that and the battery. Engine cranks and it fires and sounds like it wants to start but doesn't keep running beyond the initial rumble. I initially heard the fuel pump (before replacing these things), but am not hearing it now, so I'm thinking it isn't getting fuel. I've found the trouble shooting guides on here and will begin to step through these to either confirm a fuel pump issue (my suspect) or hope that it leads me to the right fix.
While checking things, I noticed that the voltage regulator is still warm (couple hours later and its cold outside). Key is out, and it should be cool by now...I'm thinking that if its still warm, it must be drawing power from the battery. Is this normal? Is this an indication of another problem? or potentially related to the non-start? (if there is a short somewhere causing this to draw) any thoughts?  Thanks in advance. Ed |
