Walbro 455?? No start

[conner]

Hey guys and gurus. I've never officially introduced myself. I drive an INDY...so be nice lol. I followed SnowFlakes thread http://www.grandprixforums.net/threads/89846-Biggest-baddest-fuel-pump-in-a-stock-canister.

And it worked and ran fine. Until I decided to unplug the evap canister and plug the throttle body. The car crank and drove for a while then sputtered and left me stranded with a no start. Thing is I have a two year old Walmart battery. It's weak and I'm thinking that's the culprit. Any ideas? Should I hook the evap canister and hose back together?

Fix your known issue, charge the battery. Then test fuel pressure. Fix the problems, don't guess at what it might be.

BillBoost37 I did what you said and still no fuel pressure. Any ideas?

Check for power at the pump ; relays / fuses

Hey gurus and thanks for you answers. I found my problem which happened to be the feed line popping off and falling into the tank. SO ANYONE WHO BUYS A WALBRO PUMP PAY ATTENTION AND SAVE A HEADACHE:

1. Cut off any extra slack on the line they ship. Basically have the line vertical with the feed line and pump "spout"!
2. Most importantly do not use the worm clamps they send. Go and buy a pack of fuel injection clamps from an auto parts store!

Car cranks on a dime and my fuel mileage increased dramatically. It still misfires but hopefully that's going to change with the new LIM gasket.
