I am having a very specific issue here. Pump no longer holds pressure after shutdown. Original location, original three port pump. It still pumps great when running, but no longer holds pressure. Need to fix that and quick. Do I have to replace it or can it be repaired?

Or you just remove them from the system like I did without having to pull them.
The rate of change was unaltered by closing off that portion of the system. And again, I don't have a richness issue. So I tried to start it after it sat for 10 minutes (still at 30 psi). When I turned on the pump the psi dropped to 19 and the car sputtered but didn't start. Checked the pressure and it was 15 now. Complete vapor lock now, pump unable to generate more than 15 psi. Eventually got enough flow to start it (took 30 seconds). Things have improved since yesterday with the new insulation but it still just isn't enough. Yesterday it wouldn't generate any pressure at all when locked up. And that was immediately after a stop (in the time it took to pull a plug). |
