| No fuel pressure |
Subject: No fuel pressure by Dale1990 on 2010/7/21 16:26:15 90 L98 I was running errands last night and when I fired up the car to leave the last stop, the engine started but idled very poorly and couldn't make enough power to go over 2mph. Didn't feel like a miss... just very down on power. After I was towed home, I put the fuel pressure gauge on and while running I was getting maybe 20psi. The fuel filter and pump have under 2k miles on them. The old pump died about 2 months ago. and I changed the filter at the same time I installed a new pump (warranty replacement) last night and now I get no pressure with the key on but the pump does run for the normal 2-3seconds. It does spray out some fuel from the output line of the tank assembly (rubber hoses off) during the 2-3 second run. Also, no pressure builds while cranking and the car doesn't start. I plan on changing the filter again when I get home from work to rule it out although a plugged filter this quick seems odd. Any other ideas on what to check? Thanks! |
