I spent a few months replacing every hose on my fuel injected 73 2.0. I replaced every seal, gasket, boot I could find. Sent my injectors out for cleaning. new KN air filter fuel lines etc. My car was running great, I was more than satisfied with acceleration untill....
...fuel pump krapped out. I bought a used one (thanks bdstone914) and swapped it out last night. quick repar. I turned the key and noticed it sounded diff than the old one. The sound was a higher pitch, sounded quite a bit faster than the one I took out. I drove it 60+ miles this morning
WOW What a difference
It is running faster than ever and more power. Who would of thought, that damn thing was crappin out since before I bought the car in November. Its like I got a new car all over again.
Amazing what a little more fuel will do. Now drive it and enjoy.
Cool, that's a nice surprise. Most likely your fuel pressure was low and you were running lean. You may want to invest in a fuel pressure gauge to be sure.
Hmm. type47 had a plan for a cheap fuel pressure gauge (think Home Depot water pump gauge) that I used for Babydoll. I wonder if the old pump wasn't delivering enough pressure to the injectors..?
Doesn't D-jet 2.0 run around 28-34 psig? I think anything less would not atomize the fuel very well. I bet your pump was limping along well bellow 25psig.
