does it run normal or jerky/sputtery?
hi yes it runs perfectly its very strange ford transit 2.5 disel and where would the fuel shut off solenoid be and how would i check it? thanks 4 your replys very appreiceated.
the solenoid - will be a roundish unit screwed into side of pump. and usually with 1 wire going to it, which is the feed for it when it is running. it gets the earth through the body of the solenoid itself being screwed into the pump which is earthed via the engine. once u located it - do a quick test . get a test bulb - make one out of an old indicator lamp unit or something similar, and connect one end to earth and the other end to the wire which connects to the solenoid. switch the ignition on, - this should light up the bulb, and confirming that the wiring of the vehicle is ok up to the solenoid. solenoid should make click noise when voltage is applied.
