What fuel pump do you have?

Thanks steve. And Ed, to be honest, i couldnt tell you what fuel pump was in the car right now. I do recall my mechanic(whatever its worth) saying that it was a walbro, but i thought to myself who would install an aftermarket pump with no hotwire kit? So im going to say i dont know what pump is on there to he safe. I guess thats something i can also check this weekend.

PM me your address.  I think I have another fp gauge around here.

If he put one of those "F in 69" pumps, then it needs to be replaced whether it is bad yet, or not.

In the mean time, either buy, or make it yourself, a hot wire as we know the factory wiring is inadequate

I usually don't like to tell a novice to do this but try it if you like. Keep a fire ext. or the garden hose handy.  Test the raw flow of the fuel pump.
make sure the battery has a full charge.
engine off, remove the schrader valve inside the fuel rail test port.
clamp in a length of 3/8 hose and enough to reach a gallon jug.
Put 12v to the fuel pump test lead behind the alternator. A a single wire with a black connector hanging next to the green connector with 2 white wires.  Put the jumper on the black connector first and then to the battery. Keeps the little spark away from the fuel hose.  Use your watch and see how long it takes to pump out one gallon.
Should not take more then 90 seconds.

Hey Ed, i think im going to first check and see what fuel pump is actually in there. Hopefully, i just need a pump and a hotwire kit. That would make me happy. First things first, i have to check the simple stuff. Should the car be running when i check the egr?

hot wire kit is a must...bet you are only getting about 10-11 volts at the pump

That's def my next purchase.

Also forgot to mention, I found a leaking injector on the passenger side.  The first one

drivers side is 1,3,5 and passenger are 2,4,6

from the front of the engine..makes that the number two cylinder

walbro 340 in mine.
tried and true, right?
a simple plug and play for our fuel tanks, and good for low 11's, maybe even faster?
