Need help can't wait to drive car.
I just got my new springs on and RR adjusted car sounds great. One problem I switched to a BBK FPR from a holley and when the pump turns off pressure drops to zero fast. I do not smell gas and I can not find any leaks. I would think at 38 psi I would see gas somewhere? I call summit and they seem to think that it is OK the fuel is going to the return line. My holley would hold pressure for a day. Also what would be the point in the pump turning on if the system did not hold pressure? Thanks for the help guys I can not wait to see how this thing runs not that I have the valve train right.

If I remember correctly, last time I put a gauge on my FP using the stock FPR, the pressure dropped after I turn the key and hear the pump come on and off. I thing it just squirts some fuel in there to start the car, and then starts pulling some more once it's running. Does it start okay?

The car does have a small miss. It is heard to hear with the cam ,and when idleing you can smell gas.
The car cranks up fine ,but I have to give it gas for about two minutes before it will idle. Right after I put the motor in it started great for about 800 miles. I don't think it is problem with the valves because. The problem was there before the new springs. Could a leaking injector cause this problem, how do I test the injectors? Could I have a sensor out or a wasted computer? Once I let the car idle for a couple for minutes and kill it. When I start it again it idle fines, but still has the miss. I'm lost. |
test for a leaking injector by clamping the return hose when an assistant turns off the engine. If the pressure drops, it's one or more injectors.
Take care, -Chris |
i had sort of the same prob in my old gt. it wouldnt idle worth **** when i got it, so i put in a new tps-throttle position sensor and that seemed to help a bit but it still was doing it. so i looked around in my engine and i saw that it was wet around one of my front injectors. when i finally was going to put a new one in and pulled the old one out - on the bottom on the cap was cracked in like 5 different spots. when i put in the new one it idled fine.
hope this helps you out. |
I'm going to try and figure out my fuel pressure Tuesday. It should be in the upper 40's. I have not touched the car because of the holiday's and the fact the it has not been over 20 degree's in two weeks. I'm looking to buying new injectors in a couple of weeks. Like I said before the only thing I bought used were the injectors and MAS(cal 24#) everything else is new. I will let you guys know when I find something. Thanks for the help.
