Firing Up Motor After 7 Months on Jack-Stands



that means you got no fuel. pump might have failed on ya. try beating on the bottom of the tank, if you get f/p and it fired up, you know the pumps bad for sure. sometimes you can shock them back to life. sometime not.
 
Hmmm. Ok. Pump was replaced 3 years ago. Only ran for about about 3000-5000 miles. So pretty new. Could be though. Maybe it seized up from not being run. Autozone rents the pressure gauge. What are that chances of crud from the tank jclogging something? Isn't there a sock over the pump intake? Could that be it?
 
Ten-4, Billy B. Appreciate yours and Scotty's advise. Might get out there tonight to work on it. Definitely tomorrow night. I'll report back with my observations.
 


open the trunk floor, test for power at the pump when the key is turned on, it only gets power for like 3-5 seconds, then turns off. if you got power, you need a pump.
 
I'll be out there tonight. I'll take a look at the pump. One thing I forgot to do was bang on the bottom of the fuel tank. DOH!

So either the pump died after providing some pressure the first time around, or something is clogging where the fuel enters. Those are my guesses. I re-checked all the unions, the rail connections and evap. connection... everything looks good. I kept the ends of the fuel lines sealed when installing them so I don't think anything got inside of them. Could have happened, but really a long shot.
 
Dont over think it, when I first bought the gp the guy said he recently did the fuel pump. 30 days later I was stranded 60 miles away from home because the pump went out. Chinese crap, which it still has after I replaced it 6 years ago, havent dropped the walbro in yet.

ANyways keep it simple, baby steps and breathe!
 


Yeah. For sure man. Just disappointed it didn't start.

Hoping it is just the pump. I'm guessing I'm using a Multimeter to check for power? I knew I couldn't avoid learning how to use one of those for too long! Especially with this piece of junk. Lol.

Definitely narrowed it down. Thanks man. I checked the fuse that came with the kit. Kit has its own fuse. Goes alternator >cable>fuse>cable>fuel pump connectors. You could say it's an "in-line" fuse. 20amp. Checked it, and it was good.

Does the fuel pump fuse, in the fuse box matter anymore? I wanna say that the rewire bypasses all that.
 
And fuel pumps are expensive. Middle of the road is 166. Advanced wants 330!! for an AcDelco. Rock wants 240. Pulled some parts off a good looking Bonnie SSEi in the yard last weekend, might grab the fuel pump from it, for 20. Need to research if it will fit.

You mostly likely need just the pump not the whole assembly

look up The Racers Edge aka TRE pumps. I had good success with them and super cheap for a high flow pump. But check power back there before you order
