No fuel pressure!!
« on: June 13 2015, 05:55:06 PM »
Had to get my car towed home today.  Ran great when I left.  Parked and when I went to leave it was sputtering and farting.  Looked at my fuel pressure and it was only 20 psi.  So I went to turn it up and nothing and at the same time I pulled my feedback port out of the regulator.  Get it home and changed the regulator.  I have fuel at rail but there is no pressure.  Car almost wants to start.  I can hear the pump running.  I'm wondering if I lost the sock on the pump or collapsed the fuel filter?

So what do you smart guys think?

You will know when you drop the tank...sounds more like the hose between the pump and sender is loose

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

Yeah, I was thinking that I just didn't want to drop the tank today.  Too much things to do for the next 2 weeks, so I guess I'll let it sit till then.  Will update.

I was studying for a thermo-dynamics government exam, passing mark is 65% pretty sure I got that and more.  Wrote the exam on Tuesday, then came home dropped my tank and found the hose off.  Ah the sweet sound of a running Buick V6. :icon_lol:
