Subject: Re: Car Won't Accelerate! by CasetheCorvetteman on 2008/6/8 16:01:03 Sorry mate that should say SENDER unit. The strainer sock is on the pickup. Pull it out and have a look, if its no good, youll know exactly what youre looking at. The factory service manual might say that, but that doesnt mean its a fact, and ive seen a few strainers that were sucked flat (which can reduce flow) as well as a few that were clogged with shit. Only way to know for sure what it looks like and what the condition of it is, is to pull the sender unit out and have a good look. Its not hard, 4 torx screws, 3 hoses, one power plug, then about 10 or 12 hex head bolts hold it in the top of the tank. You shouldnt have been shocked under the bonnet, that has never happened to me with good leads EVER. Id have to see it to know, but ive had leads that you could see the spark while bending over and blocking the sunlight, and the car still ran ok, certainly not great (quite far from it), but it would accelerate, just bucked and missed abit. While youre looking around, check to make sure the knock sensor line doesnt get real close to a leaking plug lead, cause this can cause false knock (which i dont think is your problem here) No, you dont need to pull off the vac line to the regulator, all that will do is stop the regulator from lessening the fuel pressure when vac levels are higher and less pressure is required to flow the same about of fuel. |
