In my efforts to get the car to the courthouse to get it inspected, I ran in to some pretty serious problems getting the car to run. Basically, it’s suffering from the same things that have plagued it for the last year. When I finally got it back in to the garage, I started doing some pretty radical things to the tune to see what would happen and I found that aside from giving it some pretty outlandish settings, it ran pretty much the same, no matter what. I checked spark on all four plugs, and that was good. I wanted to try testing the injectors to see if they were all firing, and as part of that, I went to disconnect the fuel line from the injector rail.
Nothing came out.
I left it disconnected, put a bucket under it, and tried cranking. No fuel. The next night, I got a jumper wire and tried running the fuel pump. I can hear the pump running, but I get a very sporadic splash of gas here and there.
Tonight I’m going to try a new fuel regulator/filter. If that doesn’t work (and I don’t expect it to), I’m going to order the Walbro pump from Modern Performance and drop the tank.
