As all of you know my fuel pump died.

My buddy "matt'sdrag95" gave me his gas tank which had his stock fuel pump in it. He said it worked fine.
So i got it. I dropped my tank, and i was going to switch pumps, but his tank had alot less rust and wear on it so i just used his tank.

About a month ago, i took my old tank off. Left the lines down ect cause i never had enough time to go out there and put the new tank in.
I got out of work early today so i raised the new tank up.
Plugged in the harness. (i bought a new rubber gasket where the spout neck goes into the gas tank cause the other one was cracking. Stuck that in Stuck the filler neck in. Put in that white thing that goes in the hole have no idea what that is. Pluged in the fuel lines, clamed them.

Bolted up the tank. Bolted up the filler neck. Filled it up with as much gas as i could fit in my hand held tank. (6.5 gallons)

Tried to start it.
It goes like it has the power to start but it doesnt turn over.
I also plugged back in the fuel pump plug that you unplug to release the gas pressure)

I knew there was no pressure and it would take a while, but i kept cranking it. waited 5 minutes cranked it alot again, while pushing the gas...

still it just cranks, but it wont fire up.
Dont know what else to do, what else to check...


:-?

shot in the dark: do the 95's have a fuel cutoff switch? If so, would that have been triggered in any way? :-?

turn the car to the on positon and leave it there for a couple of minutes. Then try to crank it.

**A shot in the dark as well**

what would that do?

 

[lowflyn]

Ha who knows, but it's worth a shot. If nothing else try disconnecting you battery to reset your computer. Anything's worth a shot to save some money. Just some advice from ppl though.

 

[Rellik]

Battery was already disconnected when i did the install.

I did everything, iam looking for the more technical in depth answers.

 

[lowflyn]

Ha sorry man, can't help you very much on that one...hm...I sure wish someone who knew more about this than me would post....People act like they have something else to do besides help people on here.

OK Charles you need a helper. to do some things for you while you check things. do you have fuel to the motor, do you here the pump. go to the shrader valve on the fuel rail and see it you are getting anything including air out it when the key is in the on position.

 

[Rellik]

My dad put the key in the on position yesterday when it wasnt starting, i laied under the tank, and i put my ear next to the filler neck.

Both times, I didnt know if i could hear the pump.
If it was there it was very faint.

Ill check the shrader vavle.

 

[Danger Dude]

pump sounds like it has seized up. I have a pump for sale right now !!!!!!

 

[Rellik]

if iam buying a pump its going to be a 255lph

 

[Danger Dude]

OK no problem then buy one but mine will be a boat load cheaper

But it is your car!!! just trying to help

 

[Rellik]

Ok corey, I checked the sharder valve, nothing, no air, no fuel, no pressure when i move the valve at all.

I have a core remover at work, ill bring it home remove the core and see if anything comes out.

I tried starting it and pumping gas in it a few times. But nothing no pressure in that line at all.

Could it be the sending unit? Or Just the pump?

And If iam going to be spending money on a new pump, i might as well get the one that i want now so i dont have to do this all over again.

 

[Rellik]

[Danger Dude]

30 bucks plus 3 bucks shipping

 

[Zim]

[Danger Dude]

[Rellik]

Ummm... did you put gas in the new tank after you raised it up and bolted it in?

 

[Rellik]
