![]() I just checked my car since I think my pump isn't too healthy. Here is what I got:
Key on engine off was 35psi Key on engine running was 32-33psi At WOT it would spike to 40psi and then drop to almost 30psi. These numbers seem low to me and I wonder if it might be why I have a slight detonation problem. ![]()

![]() First symptom is the pump has the typical buzz to it but it seems to be a little louder lately.
Second is the slight detonation I experience under the following: 1. warm ambient temperature, with and without the a/c on 2. only under load above 2500 rpm and only in 2nd gear and above. never seen to get it in 1st. 3. engine has heat soaked after a drive. It doesn't happen when the engine is cold I've tried to run the codes but I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. With the KOEO test I get either code 111 or 33 depending on how you interpret the light. It means either there is nothing wrong or my EGR valve is screwed. I have not done the KOER test yet. Also, my timing is at 10 degrees and I have Autolight 24's installed along with new wires,cap&rotor. If I run 94 octane the detonation goes away.

![]() did you check and set your base timing with the spout disconnected? A common mistake.

![]() Timing stock is 10
FP stock is 38 at idel Your Fuel pump could be suspect. I would go with a 190. Your gonna need it sooner or later.

![]() Yes, Timing was set with spout connector out.
Also forgot to mention that it will stall while idling when hot once and awhile for no reason. I thought it was the ignition module so that was changed... and it still stalled on me last week. Fired back up with little problem but I don't understand why it stalls. It doesn't even stumble or anything, just stops running.

![]() Guy down the road had the same issue on his 95, the fuel pump was bad trippin the fuel pump relay. It was drawing to much amperage and tripping the relay causing it to stall... If its getting louder thats the sign to replace it.
