Moosen Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) So i installed a new fuel pump. vroom started right up drove around and she performed amazing. rad for a long while. then I tinkered with the jets, cleaned the engine, times it etc. Found oil from the pcv, fixed that. Then I went back out the the car to start it, and it wont start..... pull off fuel line and nothing is coming out when i crank it over. And I heard the fuel pump going! What the heck. What is stopping the fuel? Okay took off the hose right after the fuel pump and pointed it into a tub. Cranked and fuel dribbled out. shouldn't it be shooting out? it was dripping not even a stream. clarification, when i re wired the new pump into the old harness the black and white wire was positive and went to brown, and the black to black? correct?

Moosen Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) alright. so I tried to wire it the other way. nope i had it wired correctly. Then i place the inlet hose of the pump in a spare gas can and pointed the outlet hose into a tub. Cranked the car and i can hear the pump go, but no fuel comes out the other side. Isn't that they tell tale sign of a bad pump? I bought just a generic low end one from rock auto? Well called up rock auto. They are giving me a refund and i dont even have to send the part back. Sickk. Ordered a new pump with the harness already on it so i wont have to splice. Sweet. fingers crossed Edited May 25, 2012 by Moosen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertsubaru Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 pluged tank pickup had thiss happen to both my old brats has some kinda screen on tank pickup +1. Take the line that goes from the tank to the pump off the pump side and blow compressed air up it to see if that helps. If the pick up is clogged and you blow air up then the fuel starts pouring out you know that is your problem. You should have fuel come out of the line that goes to the tank by gravity when you tank it off the pump. There should also be an access panel under the carpet in the back of the rear seat to change the sending unit. You can unbolt it then take the sending unit out to inspect the inside of the tank with a flash light. Look for rust. DO NOT USE A MATCH!
