Fuel Pump dying
« Reply #15 on: June 11 2011, 08:13:35 PM »
so I drop the tank, stick the pump in after a little modding, install the tank put some gas in it and nothing happens.  

Okay, something happened...a lot of F bombs bouncing off the walls...

Thought I should bought the Denso.

Finally dropped the tank again...always fun when the gas is sloshing side to side...

Pull the effing pump out and noticed that the connector was not pushed all the way in....voila!

I need a keeper...

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
