Fuel Pump failure?

[DaveH1]

Found out (I think) why the car's cutting out! It seems the fuel pump is just stopping. My reason for coming to this conclusion is that the cars is a swine to re-start and you can't hear the pump kicking in when you turn the key. Obviously, then suddenly the pump kicks in and bingo! Is the pump stopping likely to be a pump failure or is there other possible faults e.g fuel cut-off switch - ecu issues?? Is the pump fairly easy to change? Where is it?? Many thanks for any replies...

Start with the fuel pump relais mounted at the fuse board. TVR relais are not the best ones and often fail and sometimes melting the fuse board.

The fuel pump itself is easy to find at the underside of the car behind the diff. Easily recognised.

i had exacly the same fault with mine.it would just die on me and not restart. then all of a sudden it would kick back in and run no problem. i tested all the fuel pump wiring with no faults found. i fitted a new fuel pump relay and every thing is fine. the relay is a standard vauxhall one. i fitted a durite one "part number 0-723-23" if you need one i can post you one out just give me a call on 01782 574900
