[V8] Well, it runs but doesn't really want to.

Did you consider, check or replace the engine speed sensors.

I did several fuel pump swaps before fixing the actual problem with the
engine sensor

PS I have not had the email feed for a month....

Grrr - car is possessed by the Bosch demon (possibly a relative of Lucas
- the inventor of darkness)


Just put a (new) new fuel pump into the car, it starts, but VERY
reluctantly . . . crank, crank, crank, spit, roar then runs OK until the
next start, and then crank, crank, crank, crank, spit, roar again.


This reluctance to start is new - the problem was not there before the
original fuel pump failure, nor was it there when I installed the
replacement pump (which pump promptly died, and Bruce sent a replacement
for that under warranty) - what might I have disturbed, annoyed, or
pissed off in this car which makes it suddenly quite hard to start?


Best Regards,
