octane?

[D-rock]

M50 swap. I am having fuel problems. Car was starting then died when I pressed down on the gas. Now the car is not starting at all. Could this be cause I am using 93 octane?

Thanks!

you were very vague. any other info you can give?

You probably hooked the supply and return lines backwards.

Car was working fine. I turned it off. Went back to my car an hour later. It started but was idling at under 500rmps. I pressed the gas and then the car died. Later that day it was only cranking and not starting. Thats all the info i have! :/

Decent charging system? Battery is strong not weak? How long has the car been running? or is still in process of being built?

Fuel filter? Fuel pumps running?

[matt]

Air leaks.

Check the icv tube to the manifold. Just my air leak guess.

How I am I vague I have no moke info.


Will be checking gas flow and filters tom. If all is okay then I am guessing it will be an air leak.

Also check the HFM by disconnecting it. Try starting that way, if it starts it's the hfm.

Did you do the swap yourself or did you buy it that way?
