I tried doing the test mentioned by pkrwud and came up with kind of empty handed because the car started at the second try once again. What I did noticed is that on the SVO if I open to the switch to run the pump and I leave the switch alone and check to see if there is any fuel in the line by pinching the spout sure enough fuel comes out. On the other hand on the efi conversion only some air comes out even if I open the switch 5 times I still come up with just air on the line unless the car is running and thats when fuel does shoot out. Only two things can be to blame fuel pump and fuel regualator or am I missing some piece on my conversion? How do I go about testing which of the two are at fault? I hope all of this made sence to someone.
