On my way to work today - 1 block away from work - my car died. I'm almost sure my fuel pump hose came off again. My Walbro install is beginning to be more of a pain in the ass than anything. <_<
Does anyone in the McHenry / Crystal Lake / Cary area have a fuel pump assembly I can borrow or buy? I've got 2 at home, but that doesn't help me. Not sure if I'll be able to rig it to get me home this time. I'll know more when I take it apart at lunch time. But I want a backup plan hence I'm asking for help.
Damm, how to keep that corrugated hose from coming off!?!? It's on two ribs - and I even clamped it.
J.E.T.
'97 Red GTP - down at the moment.
----------------------------------------------
I walked to my car to get my cough medicine (I'm a little sick on top of this problem). I looked at my fuel pressure and it's normal. So it can't be the fuel pump hose. So now I'm stumped. All critical fuses are OK, but I'll double check them again. I cannot get a code error reading because the OBDII wont connect if the engine is not running.
Event that lead to failure: After patiently waiting for a truck to make a left turn, I hastily stepped on the go pedal eventually going to WOT. Right at the end of 1st gear (and I noticed 14psi of boost, damm) my engine seemed to rev freely as if in neutral. I immediately let go of the gas. I did not hear any metalic clunking or breakig noises. I came to a stop at a light and the engine died. It would not start afterwards. As of now, it cranks (sounds normal) but will not turn over.
Ok - any input would be great. I'd like to go home at the end of the day!
So far:
- Fuses OK - will recheck
- fuel pressure OK - the Caspers Hot Wire Kit is installed, so the resistor is bypassed.
- Changed my MAF sensor two days ago.
