Good point!
Filter have 100x times or more that surface.

Hi,
thank you for your reply!

I don't understand the meaning of:
"Take that gauze of the maf for a start. It upsets it for some reason".

Please Big Wasa, can you explain this?



Some précisions: the fuel pump and the filter (I mount it before the pump) are new

What kind of exhaust do you propose?
Cheers
Jean

I 've check the fuel tank before filling it: it was clean

The pair of ladies tights or what ever it may be that is atached over the maf will upset the sensor readings and therefore the running.

Re
So, if I understand you, I have to disconnect the Mass air Flow sensor from the muff? Isn't it?

Hi everybody!
I give you some news of my seven with the ST 170 :
I order a air filter but it 's not installed yet
I think I forgot to tell something: for the fuel line I 've read somewhere that on the Focus ST 170 the fuel line was ounting without return to the fuel tank; so I do like that!
BUT!
After explain the problem to the fuel pump seller, he ask the pump manufacturer and this one said that I have to mount a fuel regulator with a return to tank
So do I!
This afternoon , I was on track to try my new steed: it runs very well!!!

I have some other little problems about the accessory belt which squeal during the 3 first rounds and after it's ok?!?! probably the tension, but this first run was a great surprise
chears,
Jean

The ecu controls the pressure via the fuel pump driver modual. It’s not a great system in my opinion but NO you can’t just add a fuel reg and run it along side the the fuel pump driver modual?

HI Big wasa!
I don't understand the sense of your sentence...
In the mounting I conserved the fuel pump driver module and add a regulator: in this configuration the fuel pump doesn't force and the fuse doesn't blown too?
I test the car during half an hour yesterday it works well.....

Your English is better than my French but we still have a communication shortfall.

The fuel pressure on the st170 is controlled by pulsewidth modulation of the pump.

The ecu rapidly turns the pump on / off to give the required pressure.

There is NO fuel pressure regulator.

re,
Yes I agree with that!
My pump is an external pump (not the original)
I think (that's what I noticed) that the pump is forcing without reg
The regulator relieve is work

I have a question: if my fuel pump driving module doesn't work , what 's going on at the engine?

Re,
about the question:
Concerning the FPDM, on the diagram, I see a transistor: if the transistor blowns, does the fpdm still works ?
I ask this question because , when I start I can hear the fuel pump running (before starting the engine, just put the buton on perm live) and with the reg the pressure is at 3 bars, but the fpdm doesn't stop the pump, so may be there is a problem with the FPDM

chears,
Jean
