You have to do tank/pump/injectors/lines,everywhere the fuel goes,then prime with fresh correct fuel,
even then sometimes I find that easystart is needed just to gve it a starting chance.

does this mean new injectors or just clean them ?

Just probably needing bled through with the fresh fuel .

I was told it could be the fuel pump on the engine that is the problem,as it would have dried out with the petrol going through, If I put a second hand fuel pump on would I need to get it programmed ?
