no fuel on x16xe tigra

[LeNnOxLeWiS]

Hi, i dont know what is happening, i took all wires off, and some stuff, got it all back togheter and now theres no fuel arriving to the fuel rail nor the tubes that plug into the fuel rail and regulator.. i really dont know what is causing this. I tried and i tried a lot to get it starting but no fuel goes up the tubes.. i dont know how far back the fuel stops.. but at least the tubes just after the blue lines that are black (those who connect before the fuel rail) are dry..

What can cause this?? is there any electrical plug i missed that causes this ??? any vacuum hose or so ??

I have a Tigra, i dont know if i saw this on a corsa or so, but i know there are cars where you can press a kind of manual pump, just to get it to pressure. is there a manual way of pushing fuel up to the fuel rail ??

thanks in advance

I don't know if I'm right about this but if the fuel filter is on backwards could it cause the fuel not to flow I know it would be restrictive...if you disconnect the fuel line and turn the ignition on for a second fuel should come through the line...if not then either the fuel pump isn't getting power/is broken or the line is clogged somewhere. Just a couple guesses...others can probably help alot more

do you hear the fuel pump turn on when you turn the key (it should cycle for 2 seconds) it will be a quiet humming sound

My fuel pump sounds awful sometimes...I think it's about dead...it makes a loud whine instead of the quiet sound it used to make...just sometimes though

its on its way out, that might be your problem.

sorry didn't mean to confuse you...I was just mentioning my car was doing that...LeNnOxLeWiS is having the problem.
