Need Help!

Post by Lovedoctor » Fri Nov 20, 2015 8:46 pm

Not a Lude question but i know the guys on here are super knowledgeable!
Bought a Hyundai Terracan 6 weeks ago and in past fee weeks had issues starting. Having got the garage to OBII it it couldnt be any worse - appears the Fuel Pump is goosed and cost @):- ££££
To get it started the garage shot 'laughing gas' into the top of the engine to start it from a garden spray gun. They showed me how to do it. From google its NOS?
Unfortunately 1/2 way home the car died and i couldnt restart. Ive abandoned on a grass verge. Rather than wait hours for recovery id rather get it started again to get it home where i can chase the trader for repairs. Where would i get liquid NOS to do this or is there a similar alternative?

If the pumps given up the ghost completely it probably wont help.

if you get a new pump try to get the trader to do the injectors as well, often if the pump goes a short time after the injectors will as swarf and crap generally knackers them, common on fords especially.

i wouldn't mention the easy start to the trader either as its got its uses but isn't all that healthy for a motor.

Thanks guys. Will probably just get the car recovered then. Fot.to say it has had its issues starting recently but never given up on me. I was doing 60 on a dual carridgeway when it stalled on me. Pump must be totally shot :o

Dont worry Phil - will be pressing for the lot! Cleaning of the fuel lines, tank and new injectors/pump!
