it runs, idles,revs but cuts out on full throttle when in gear.
was running fine, untill i fixed the fuel gauge.
any idea's? cleaned the icv, dont think it would be the fuel filter as it was running fine before, cleaned the throttle body, everything was put back how it was, fuel is being fed in the fuel rail, and have fuel.
it idles fine, but when i pull off and increase the revs it dies.
any idea's peeps

was changed a little while ago. would that cause that type of problem, always thought that if a relay goes it would not work full stop?

if a relay goes it can cause all kinds of trouble
i had a fiat that would drive fine for 5 mins then the relay packed it and restricted fuel would go abouve 40mph

SORTED.
wasn't the external filter ( that i just wasted £12 on )
took the tank apart and found that the filter on the pump was clogged.
all sorted now except the tank needs to be cleaned out.
is it possible to drop the tank out from the bottom to clean out?
