Won't tolerate any boost under 3500 rpm- runs fine otherwise
speed racer replied to theastronaut's topic in Virtual Mechanic
Had an airtex e8000 fuel pump when first put my car back together.wasnt worth the box it come in.bad outta the box.wouldn;t even pull fuel from the tank muchless enough pressure to run properly.and yes....everything else was new.the pump just sucked so took it back for my $.got a different pump...started up in a couple cranks and has ever since.swap the pump for the walbro one and see if it don't help. -
Finished FUEL CELL yesterday...

fire suit?life insurance?all the stuff mentioned you need a damn good idea too.I would have mounted te cell in the stock tank location and not in the interior. -
Overpriced Maybe Bought From Tep Performance Parts.
speed racer replied to a topic in eBay/ Craiglist notices and alerts
he can keep those mounts.geez.idk how much thhey are but that seems like bs.wouldn't mind having the head and valve train stuff for the 2nd engine I got to build. -
the first pump I got didn't work,wasnt a walbro but one of the other common replacements ppl here use.wouldnt even turn on at first.checked wiring...all good.,then once got to run would pull gas from tank at all.ended up with fp from Orieleys

it sat for 2 yrs?did it run fine before it sat in storage?there's part of the problem.my guess.sensors don't,shouldn't go bad just sitting,maybe its possible but I don't believe it,my guess would be a bad injector.clogged by crap from it sitting with gas in it.in them...had that prob with mine after my injection mixer stuff lived in a sealed box inside for a few yrs,runs fine warming up since ecu richens.once warmed up and back to normal flow isnt enough fuel....secondary prob same condition,if wasn't from the gas in the injectors could been fro fuel in line or tank or filter even.thats my guess based on my own experience and headaches,check all the other stuff as mention if ya want but id look to injectors first.

Cheap 'n' Cheerful BOV add-on for SQ's
speed racer replied to carguygibby's topic in Engine and Performance Mods
been using a 'crushed' 1st gen bov from an eclipse for yrs.vented to atmosphere..never had a prob.just put back on my car now that it long psychotic fuel injection issue is cured.Before I compressed the bov in a vise it didn't run for crap though.running a 1st gen MAF too.have aftermarket injectors from lower shores(lucas not the usualy delphis) and tookn a while to find a happy spot adjustment wise for TPS.the car wanted to idle with both injectors firing at stock setting.idk how others here made them work but they work for me now so....time to drive the frankenstien.. -
1989 conquest idles only with both injectors hooked up
speed racer replied to JohnnyWadd's topic in Virtual Mechanic
sweet.i know this is a kinda old post but have had same issue for a while.runs ok w both running just fouls plugs if I sit and idle too long and well wastes expensive gas.will check both of the TPS I have.maybe both bad as I swapped in one I got from an engine I got and it didn't fix anything.now just need a day or evening off in daylite to do it.
