Joys of older cars!
Car wont start unless a bit of throttle (2.8 fuel injected) and maybe "they all do that sir". Not an problem in itself.
However seem to have a recurring issue where after running for perhaps 10-15 minutes and stop then on restart engine spins over but won't fire. After 15-20 seconds she will fire up ok and run fine.
Now I have discovered that on going around a roundabout if I give it some throttle as I come off the roundabout the engine will either stutter or stop completely.
Will either pick up again ok or will start immediately on turn of the key.
Other than that car runs perfectly with no misfiring.
Pump? Relay? Wondered about bad connection but whilst that may explain "hot" starting wouldn't explain roundabout issue.
Is there an alternative to ES price on a pump of over £300?
TIA.
