Nothing that looks like a tyre valve on the fuel rail or just where the fuel line comes out/ runs up the bulkhead?

Take the filter back off, see if it's full of fuel?

Maybe put old filter back on and see if fuel gets through?

Ah i thought you couldn't get it too start, are you sure its an air lock in the fuel system. Sounds like its in limp mode

Pfft it's not an air lock in the fuel lines at all if it's running, more likely what jay said or something similair

It runs ok when left over night, then after 5mins if you get the revs high (3-4k+) it holds back> Its ok if you keep the revs below 2k....

Its only happened since i put this filter on....
