fuel problem

[maria dumbell]

My car wouldn't start yesterday, The RAC man said there was air in the system and he unblocked one of the injector to get it going and said take it to a garage, he was hopeless. However it kept happening so a friend unblocked all jets. He said it was like bleeding a radidator. Since then it has run fine. Does anyone know why this would have happened and is it OK now to carry on using it as its running OK?
I would appericate and suggestions as I can not afford a heafty bill.

Is it a diesel ? The only way I know of air getting in the fuel system is if you ran it out of fuel or if the tank was almost empty and you made a very hard turn. Also, some Fords have an automatic fuel cutoff switch (it shuts the fuel pump off in an accident) that sometimes triggers for no reason. I hope this helps.
