Just supply to the rail. No return.

Just as a CNN presenter will probably have blamed Trump.  ;D

Have swapped plug, stick coil and injector between 1 and 3,  but code stayed at pot 3. The most recent incident though only threw up cat efficiency code .
Maybe because I stopped and put petrol in to bring the fuel level back up, rather than keep driving until I got home.
A mechanic on another forum claims that cylinder specific codes on these arent always accurate and can be taken with a pinch of salt ?
Will have a check of injector wiring, but if that doesnt provide any answers Im going to run the fuel level low again, and then see if I can make some progress with it.
Maybe completely empty and clean out the tank and then start fresh from there.
It isnt a huge problem so far, but pretty irritating, and may get worse until I diagnose it properly.

 ;D ;D

To this day, the most exciting car Ive ever driven was my Chevette HS. Approx. 180bhp and iirc it weighed exactly a ton.
It was a seriously quick car, in its day and on more than one occasion left a 911 struggling in vain to keep up.
It was being driven by a young, stupid eejit though.  :)
Those were the days.  8)

The C lio offended me. This one just concerns me a little bit.  :)

Cars from 30 years ago that had less power, also had a lot less weight to pull along. So yes it is relative, but imo its much more fun driving a 1 ton car with 150bhp than a 2 ton car with 300bhp.

C1 about £100 in 15 months so far.
Boxster about £350 in 3 years, although Ive sold the original wheels and a few other surplus parts for more than that.
The Omega Ive had about 7 years. Spent a lot of money getting it how I wanted it in the first couple of years.
I think the total spend on that (including tyres and MOT,s) is north of £3000. Which isnt a lot in that time in the grand scheme of things.

The C1 is a Toyota Aygo with Citroen badges on.  ;)
All the parts have the Toyota logo and part numbers on them.

Nah, its a great little car. Cheap as chips to run and a hoot to drive in its own way. Im hoping to keep it until I retire (hopefully) at 70.  :)

Who knows. Fuel system looks very basic. No schraeder valve. Pipe comes from the tank to a white plastic block (some kind of valve ?) and then to the fuel rail. If number one pot is the timing chain end (not sure) then number three is the first one supplied at the fuel rail.


You could find out! Unhook the return pipe, drain 100ml of fuel into a clear glass jar and inspect it for dirt, water or diesel. Do that a couple of times before you make any irrecoverable decisions.

There is no return pipe.  ;)

Tank / pump is easily accessed under the rear seat. When its run almost dry again I will remove the pump and clean out the tank. If that doesnt fix it then I will load up the parts cannon - firstly with a pump, then take it from there.  :y

Yep  :y
Only difference this time is that I stopped at a petrol station after 5 minutes (after which it ran fine) rather than carry on driving for miles.

Will have a look at the fuel system later and see whats involved.
Just read the codes and it was a bit of a surprise. Low Cat efficiency.  ???
