Hi Atlante. I had the same idea but why the car run well ? A fuel pump issue only on restart after a few seconds ? Hi Elcyd. I thought my breather is blocked but the pipe comes out under the fuel cap that's why i'm thinking that maybe is the plastic fuel cap.
I'll drive it again later...and i'll tell you if there's something different
thank you

I'm just came back home and ...won't start again for 5 minutes. I check the spark ( i have it ) and i can hear clearly the fuel pump. I drove without the fuel tank cap but it won't start. After 5 minutes it started again ....my 3w is possessed...
I don't know what to do because i will not like to buy a new fuel pump or ECU and then realize it was not necessary. The Morgan service is like 700 km from here

did you check the pressure of the fuel when taking the cap off the bleeder on the injection body?

Hi Nadvys. I tried to check it using my tyre pressure gauge but i guess it was not the right tester because gave me "0" any time i use it, even with the engine running. I need to find a proper fuel pressure tester. I just check again the car...it doesn't start and after 2 other attempts it starts again...it's a mystery car..

Hi nadvys..this is something i never think about. Maybe i can try to use some kind of injectors cleaner. But the car run well...so i guess the injectors do their work properly until i stop the engine. Thank you for the advice

Think of it this way. Instead of driving 700km each way or paying for transportation. The price of parts are equivalent of transportation alone correct? Atleast its not something major

Hi Q8Morgan, you are right,it's the right way to think. I'm still not sure it's a fuel pump fault because, in my case, i can hear clearly the fuel pump. It works when i turn the key and there is the spark, because i saw it with my eyes. The only test i can do is the pressure when i try to restart the engine.
