another mention of fuel pump

[redmatt]

its a long story, ive got two wedges, one is in bits so i got hold of another to enjoy driving, was ok for a while then it started to missfire really bad but intermitantly, it was suggested that the management was over fueling the car, i used the management from the one in bits and it went fine for a while. I then had an issue of the battery light comming on, taking the key out of the ignition didnt stop it and the battery lost its charge, charged it up and the car ran, the light however was still on the battery however remained charged. to get to the point the car started the other day and ran for a while. but it was noisy with the exagerated sound of the fuel injection (that little buzz sound) got under the car sounded like it was from the back the car, it then cut out and hasn't started since does any one know if all three things are connected or what i should do to get this bloody car going again help!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm no expert , but the misfire could have been an intermittant fuel pump 'on it's way out'....the lack of 'buzz' underneath the car could indicate that the fuel pump has finally packed up (or maybe it's controlling relay has failed )
The battery light staying on is almost certainly an indication of the diode pack in the alternator having failed - if the battery didn't lose its charge ,it soon will do as the current drains away.
Try another fuel pump ,if you've got one spare or check voltage to it - replace alternator or get it repaired
