The tank was low but I thought I would have enough to make it home. After moving off from a red light the car throttle lost all response and then the engine died while driving. I pulled it over and went and put 5L of fuel in it from a Jerry can and it sort of coughed spluttered a bit but wouldn’t fire properly. Then put another 5L in today and did the same and now it will not even try to fire. I’m suspecting fuel pump or fuel filter but I’m wondering what’s the best way to diagnose what’s going on. It has a wall bro 460 in it. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed it’s just a filter. Would I just clean the rail and injectors with some brake clean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
