Evening all.

Could anyone advise on the method for priming the KV6 oil pump please?

Many thanks

Ben.

Pretty sure the last one I did, I unplugged the ecu and just cranked it over a few times.

I pull the fuel pump relay.

Evening all.

In my haste tonight, I've messed up I think.

Disconnected ECU and turned engine over. Oil pump primed I reconnected the ECU.

Turned over . . . . no difference. Didn't disconnect the battery before reconnecting the ECU.

Have I goosed the ECU?

Is that for every oil change?

Like I said, pull the fuel pump relay, safe and easy 🙄

No, you can disconnect the ecu with the battery on.

Thanks Andy. Can't understand why she won't fire up then?

She just seems to be turning on the starter. Everything all connected up.
