Have you done anything that might have affected it, or was it a sudden drop off of power?

Are you suddenly getting a slight knock on the engine or white smoke from the exhaust?

you must have air or restricted fuel ,dodgy stop solenoid not opening fully ,if you undo feed on pump is it pumping out lots of fuel,clear pipe in feed pipe is good diagnostic tool,pipes in right order,

tested stop solinoid by removing spring and barrel replaced all pipes from tank to pump one at a time so they are ok just cant see it being air entering or would have problems starting will change fuel then see whats pumping out .

unless youve got a trade account ,you must have bought the part through a supplier who sold you wrong one
