I'm new to this forum, but I have searched, and can not find a sollution to my problem. (maybe I'm misspelling something when searching? To my defence; I'm Norwegian and English is not my native language...)
My Xj is a 88 renix, and everytime I try to start it i have to run it close to 3 seconds on the starter before it starts.
I suspect (but may be wrong) the reason is loss of fuel pressure in the injector rail. When i push the valve on the rail when the engine is running i get a good spray of gas, but one minute after the car is stopped, and I push the valve, I get one drop of gas at most.
I do not suspect any of my injectors of leaking (runs nice and with no smoke when starting), and I have not been abel to detect any leaks in the lines.
One answer, i realize, is a possible faulty pressure regulator causing the gas to leak through to the return line, but before investing in a new regulator I would like to have the following question answered:
Could the reason be that the gas is leaking back through the supply line and pump? Has anybody experienced this? Is there a seperate non-return valve by/in the pump, or would I have to replace my entire pump assembly if this it the problem?
OR is there another reason that I haven't thought of?
(the reason I worry about this is: 1) My starter will wear out 3 times as fast as normal. 2) I'm going to install a remote start system on the car, and this will let the starter run for maximum 2 seconds, which might not be enough, especially when the temperature falls below zero.)
