i would not know if the fuel relay is working. ive disconnect the terminals before as suggested to reset the tcu due to over reving thru gear changes. but i will give it an atempt thanks magna buff hopefully will help.

i did as u suggested magna buff nd it seems to have helped . strange thing is since the car broke down i also adjusted the idle speed its now idling at 800rpm before it wouldnt idle any lower than 1300rpm and i was chewing thru petrol realy badly. i have 282,000 on the clock nd have a real bad oil leak jolting in overdrive and alot of rattling under the bonnet any suggestion on how to fix or reduce these probs would be great shes a great car would like to try and keep her running long as possible.
