Some sort of fuel problem but dont know what HELP PLEASE
The car isnt getting any fuel so ive opened up the airflow sensor plate and thats sending fuel to the injectors but its not spraying out of them so i dont know if they are dead and need new ones. After playing about with the injectors i took the end off and gentley open the needle and turned the ignition on and they sprayed fine but as soon as i let go of the needle it stops. Would you say the injectors are dead or is the fuel not got the pressure to push the needle to let the injector spary ?
Here is a photo its the kjet engine

I did find the cold start and thermo time switch tests, I will give these a go too as ive found out after reading on this site they could be the problem too.
I also found out that fuel will not come out of the injectors if i just pull them out of the engine and turn the car over ( strange cars these VW's )
This site has loads of info in glad ive found it. But if anyone can tell me how to do the pressure test i would be more happy or where to find it in the Haynes manual
Thanks
Dave

ive tested the cold start and thermo time switch both seem to be working fine. I found out how to do the pressure test but carnt do it because the fuel relay isnt there who ever put this engine in and the loom have bypassed the relay. I think its going to be better to fit a new engine and loom if not im never going to work out what other things have been bypassed. The cold start valve has also been played with and that works on a switch that you have to press

unbolt the tank side of the fuel filter,(under bonnet)in a jar and see if you have fuel,going to the filter,still could be a pressure thing mk2 run a diff pump set up for a reason, :dontknow: then if you have fuel there you need to move on to the fuel distributor after that i will speak with you tomoz, :dontknow:
