Project thunderstruck! Update 3-11-13 Reply #120 – September 11, 2011, 02:49:49 PM could it be possible that I installed the fuel lines in reverse when I put the ends on? or would that even really matter? I am at a loss here the pump does pull fuel from the tank but I do not get pressure at the rail. Quote Selected
Project thunderstruck! Update 3-11-13 Reply #121 – September 11, 2011, 02:55:56 PM You do get fuel at the rail, right? Maybe a bad filter. I have an FPR (factory chrome piece in nice shape) you can have if you need it. Quote Selected
Project thunderstruck! Update 3-11-13 Reply #122 – September 11, 2011, 04:35:55 PM I think the fuel lines are different sizes, at the connectors. I KNOW they are at the engine, and i'm rather certain they are at the tank, as well.A bad fpr might cause the engine to run rough, but shouldn't keep it from running. But I may be wrong..

Project thunderstruck! Update 3-11-13 Reply #123 – September 11, 2011, 05:29:16 PM I'm no pro on this, but if the FPR was bad, it seems like it would dump gas in way too much.No pressure at the line has got me to thinking bad filter or bad pump. Quote Selected
Project thunderstruck! Update 3-11-13 Reply #124 – September 11, 2011, 05:48:56 PM Graham texted me, said he found a kink in the fuel line, but now has good pressure, but still no start...The injectors are grounded through the EEC, and when that ground is supplied, that's when they spray fuel, correct?
