So I just installed a new electronic fuel pump. All lines got drained when I took the old one off. How do you go about primeing those lines with fuel. I can crank it with starting fluid but there is no gas getting to the injectors and it will eventually shut down. Is there a trick to it?....Thanks in advance.

If all you did was replace the pump and filter there should be no need to prime the pump/system. Cycle the key on and off several times so the pump runs and try to start it. If there is air in the system the engine might stumble or die at idle but that should clear up shortly.
If you have other issues you need to recheck your work. Jim |
