So today, I did indeed get into the fuel tank.
Dropped it out, and started dealing with the fuel pump upgrade.
Dirty tank:
The pump hanger with the Walbro pump I installed about 8 yrs ago:
Inside looks pretty good to me:
Since I read that the Aeromotive Stealth pumps...
I had read that some people were removing the relay entirely.
Didn't know about that for sure. But with the resistor's body plug effectively bridged as I have it, I should get constant 12 volt to the pump, yes?
So...I started playing with the fuel resistor bypass mod, and I just wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing:
Here's the offending part, with the body harness connection that we need to bridge, right?
So, I did this:
And replaced the relay assembly with something...
I got all the tubing on Ebay, all 316.
LOL...I've been keeping precise score on every dollar I spend on the car, broken down into systems...
To date, the exhaust sytem(not including the welder/ supplies that I bought) has run about $1,100.
That includes all tubing, elbows, flanges, clamps...
So, I finally got the time and motivation today, to tack up the rest of the exhaust.
Went pretty smoothly, just took awhile to cut and test all the pieces.
Once I was done, I threw the two sections in the truck and drove them down to the fabricators, to TIG up.
Then I installed the...
So, I'm sorry for lately not having the same fast & furious pace that I maintained during the engine assembly, but I'm starting to see some light at the end of the "drivetrain tunnel". Stage 2 is nearing its end. Once the exhaust is completed and the fuel pump rewire/Aeromotive install is done...
I just don't see why you'd replace the filter, when it's likely the tank that's the real problem, but ok.
Be aware that if you don't invest in the two flare wrench sizes you need, you WILL strip out, or kink the fuel lines.
This would force you to add the line to your craigslist ad:
"needs...
Rewire the knock sensors.
My theory is( and i WILL be corrected if wrong), The ecu is running the car either rich, or retarded timing(or both) due to the code 52.
That's why you have rich AF's in part-throttle, and might explain why you're getting an incandescent nightlight manifold(the fuel...
