hi we ran out of petrol and car would not restart..so replaced fuel pump...still will not start any ideas please

I used to see that these older model Diamante's/Magna's had trunk mounted inertia switches for the fuel pump. Ive seen when people run out of petrol the switch is triggered, and they have to reset it for the car to fire off. maybe Chain Rattle will have another perspective.

no nothing in trunk

just an ordinary electric fuel pump in the tank

check the fuel filter isnt clogged

that model has a relay

from the repair manual " section 13 -fuel system"
you need to depressurise the fuel line

one method
remove the fuel relay fuse then replacing the fuse (in the engine bay)
so the car can run

another way is to undo the fuel line at the fuel rail then doing it back up

i will try this ...a bit hard when you dont have the book...i cannot find any fuse thats says fuel pump..what do you think..thanks lots

the manual to download is easy
justs needs adobe to read the manual after download

you need second gen

downloadable manual http://www.lisho.net/?page_id=3



the fuse cover in the engine bay should say fuel somelthing ??

thanks for all your trouble..my fuse cover lid does not say fuel pump anywhere or fuel relay

then undo the fuel line into the fuel rail
2x 10 mm bolts

then refit the fuel hose

check for leaks

the car should start then

will try tomorrow hope next news is Good news again many thanks

Awsum stuff , i onlee added because i kno older model Diamante's and awd Diamante's in my year here are fitted with inertia switches (in case of roll over etc) but sumtimes are triggered when a person runs out of gas.

But yeah id perform the checks that Chain Rattle has suggested , hopefully yu will come across with sumthing. If yu cannot find the fuse in the passenger compartment check the underhood fuse panel for the fuel pump fuse...if that wasnt already mentioned LoL
