Got the new fuel pump installed last night. It went pretty easily, I need to get a 90° fitting for the outlet. Runs into the frame when bolted up. So as soon as it pressured up I blew the rubber line where it enters the interior. Probably have to replace all the old rubber on the pressure side. Here's the new pump. As you can see the outlet is a bit long. After I replaced the blown line I tried firing the engine, no luck. I tapped on the injectors and tried again. I got a little burp and a glimpse of hope. Spayed a little starting fluid, ran for a second. So timing is good. Tried again without the fluid, no luck. I decided to give it a little fuel to see if it runs a little longer. Tapped on the injectors injectors again. Started it up and it ran! Kept it running between 1500-2000. Really made a cloud in the garage! Ran for about 2 minutes and shut it down to look for leaks. Found nothing, sounds good, no knocks. Not running well yet but at least it's running! I'm going to drain the gas tank and get some premium in it. Probably plugs and then start looking for vacuum leaks and continuing on. Then I can start reassembling. Thanks for everyone's help. I'll make sure to keep updating.

A wise man once told me "The first thing to check on a troubled fuel injected engine is fuel pressure." I found it to be sage advice.(especially on a non-runner) You want 36psi engine off,26-29@idle,and 42psi w/7lbs boost on the regulator "vacuum line" SPFI pumps can`t really cut it. Your pump needs to be capable of at least 95 litres/hour @43 psi. The regulator is on the fuel rail,not the pump.No worries. The red plugs are "check connectors" for diagnostics.You can monitor all the sensors and more from these.Very handy.

150,000 kms!! -still a baby compared to some.
