Subject: Re: Running Rough & dying ..... Looks to be Fuel issue by BigSky on 2012/10/10 20:44:14 Ok after taking the advise I took a few days off to look at this in a new light. So today I finally got a chance to mess with the vette and here is what I have found out. Fuel pressure relay looks to be good as a new one made no effect when installed. All fuses are fine, gas is less than 2 weeks old. I had already installed a new ignition control module in the last few weeks, along with a new coil. While I was checking and trying things today, I noticed that when I turned on the ignition key (but didnt start it)and listened to the pump activating, my fuel pressure would show 3 lbs. After it started it was showing around 60 lbs at an idle or rough idle. I dont recall but I didnt think my oil pressure was over 0 before startup and really didnt think it was over 40-45 at idle. Therefore I pulled the connection off the oil pressure switch behind the distributor on the drivers side and started it. Oil pressure read 80 lbs but she seemed to run completely normal! I am going to try this again and if it truely is running fine then I will go and replace the oil pressure switch and drive it a little bit. Keep your fingers crossed, & I will let you all know the final outcome soon. |
