740GLE Starting problem 700 1990

Hi Pierre,

I would think that no fuel through the injector but flow at the pressure regulator could be either a main fuel pump failure or pressure regulator failure. I am assuming that you have checked the fuel rail pressure and bleed down rate. If you have not, this needs to be done. Low pressure could be either the regulator or fuel pump (you did say that it was running?), but a fast leak down of pressure would point to the main pump.

You should raise the car and have a helper turn the key on while you hold your hand on the main pump. If that is running, disconnect the fuel line from behind the manifold and run it into a container while the engine is cranked. If you have a strong flow at that point, I would suspect that the injectors are not cycling which would indicate a failure of the ECU or the Radio Supression Relay (if so equipped). The RSR can be jumpered out to further eliminate the problem.

Regards,
