You'd most likely smell or even hear a small leak under the car. Just double check you have the lines running the correct way

044 pump isn't pumping I connected it to the pink wire that goes straight to the fuel pump relay in the fuse box.

When I connect the trigger wire straight to power it works! But on the pink wire it doesn't!

check fuses dude. if 044's are priming, it doesnt mean there is fuel in them. check fuse for intank pump. if 044 is not getting power from pink wire then the intank pump wont be either.

All fixed!

Found out that the earth on the pump wasn't good enough! Had to re run a new earth from the pump to the engine bay where I earthed it! Where does everyone else run there earth?

Thanks heaps for everyone's help without this site I would have still been without a running car :)

Was the paint scratched away on the original earthing point? If not give it a good scraping right down to bare metal, clearing the area of the washer of course and see how that goes.

Let's just say fords earthing is pretty ordinary as it is, quite a few people have problems with the engine bay earthing point. Not all give problems but I've read of a few having dramas.

Yeah, weird part that confused me was the pump would prime then not work! I used the headlight screw as earth! Best I could find with my

Multimeter. I thought I could eart the pump out by running the earth to one bolt hole that holds the surge tank on but nooo. So now there's two earths from the pump.

Now the bastard surges right before changing from 1st to 2nd gear.

If I flat stick it from a standstill as soon as it hits around 5500rpm instead of changing gear it surges then changes gear. What could

Cause this all of a sudden?
