thankyou for the responses

I did do a volume check as per Bentley, ie 30 seconds produced pretty close to .85 litres. Not sure how to extrapolate that to pressure...I can grab a coupler on Monday when the local parts store reopens and stick a gauge on it.

When you say bad gas, do you mean dirty? the filter is new and flow is there. Water perhaps?

Yeah wiring is decidedly dodgy but I've rectified a lot and checked power and earth paths to the major circuits. There is spark no probs with 12v feed to coil Ok.

I've read about worn ignition switches giving some wierd symptoms too.

I was reading on IB forum last night a guy with similar symptoms and it turned out to be the fuel pressure regulator. The main suggestion from others was check the TDC sensor as well so I'll readdress that (it checks out ok from the ECU connector end)

I'll keep at it and let you know

Thanks again
