I read on here a while back you can disable the fuel pump during cranking by removing the relay. I can't find the post though and the search isn't helping.

Is this correct, and which is find the relay? Any pics?

Muchos gracias. smile

Quite often the ECU is mapped so that at cranking revs, if you've your foot hard on the accelerator, no fuel is injected. It's designed so that if you suspect you've flooded it, you can crank it to clear it.

Not what you asked, I appreciate it. I just thought I'd blind you with my amazing knowledge. wink

You will get reported for cruelty to TVRs if you do use a tool like that.

DIsconnect the fuel pump, easy enough, undo 1 little bolt and remove the wire.
