    Priming the fuel system?

    I just got everything back together form putting on a new intake manifold. cant get any fuel out of the lines. I'm trying to prime the system, but no luck. any suggestions on where to look. Did a few searches and cant find anything.

    In case you don't know, the fuel pump only runs when the DME sees timing data from a rotating engine. If the fuel hoses are correctly hooked up the system should fill with fuel withing a turn or two of the engine. You can force the pump on by jumpering the contact pins of the fuel pump relay, but that isn't necessary to get the engine to start.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Yeah, if figured it out... I was thinking diesel for some reason. I panicked because there was no bleeder valve or prime pump. Maybe spent too much time with my 240d.

      Purrs like a kitten now, a loud, evil, black kitten.
