Have you checked that you haven't trapped or damaged any wiring from the fuel pump under or around the tank when you were fitting it back? The OBD-II Trouble Codes suggest the possibility of an electrical issue. Also, did you fit the correct fuel pump, there are two different types of pump...

UPDATE: Guys, I think I have got to the route of the problem. I took the fuel relay out and wired it up externally, that is to say took wires from the connector block to each leg of the relay and turned the engine over. And it started! I have now made some modifications to the fuel relay...

UPDATE: I was not so sure about my fuel pressure when I tested it further. There was fuel coming out of the pipe with white connector to fuel rail, with pipe disconnected and turning over engine some fuel come out. Also, when turn engine over there is a dribble of fuel out of the Schrader valve...

Thanks AngelitoGt. It is the fuse box in the engine bay. I am having a go are removing it and examining it, but not sure how to get it out. Undone the two connectors and removed the screw securing it to bulkhead but the wiring loom seems attached to it at the bottom and wing-side edge of the...

Guys, I could really do with some help please, I'm having problems getting my Puma started. There is a weird problem with the fuse box. With the ignition on, if you touch the first relay (for the ECU) you hear the relay click and I think it then restarts the ECU, you hear a whirring sound by...

Thanks matey. I'll have a look at it tomorrow.

Thanks for the help Red. What am I looking for with the Clutch Pedal Position Switch (6992957) to tell if it's causing the problem or if it's faulty? I presume it's that pressure switch in the foot-well that the physical clutch peddle operates?

For some reason my Puma has, over the last few weeks, began to idle or tick-over higher than it should. Typically, starting from cold it will race up to about 1800 rpm, but that I think is fairly normal, but then settle quickly down to approx 1000-1100 rpm, until when warm and operating normally...

Coldcut, I'd also be interested whereabouts in the West Midlands - I am also interested in the alloys, if they are still available - depends where in the WM you are really.

Okay, thanks guys, at least I now know I've not got a problem with the suspension. Not that I really understand why you would want there to be play there at all, let alone have it designed into it. Could that not lead to the rear suspension "knocking"?

I've refitted one side of my Rear Strut (and Spring Assembly) into the bodywork, through the top rubber, aligned the tab up with the key hole in the bodywork and have done the top nut up (holding the push-rod to stop it from spinning) until the nut is tight and noticed there is still a fair few...

Sorry guys, but I'm a bit confused by all this - I know, it's probably me, not being quick on the uptake :roll: So, if you fit HIDs to a standard Puma, they are technically illegal? Mainly because the light will be dispersed incorrectly as the lens/reflectors are not designed to work with a...

LOL. Just out of interest, how did you find the cross reference for the new plate? I spotted the old plate on etis (which gave the reg date) but, of course, the old plate no longer shows on the DVLA public search. Or was it one you just knew about, or is it/was it one of yours? ;-) I'm very...

Just out of interest, is this the original number plate or a later one that's been added? DVLA has it with a date of first registration of 03 December 2003, which is very late and way after they were finished making them (although the year of manufacture is stated as 2002) and there were no...

Strange, there doesn't seem to be any record of a Ford car with that registration on the DVLA database...? :?:
