I am begining to hate my engine, I cant figure out the problems, and more syptoms are starting to appear!!
For starters, I have had to replace the fuel pump fuse 2 times in the last two days.. Both times I was stranded in the road.. Luckly I had enough sense today to take one of the ones from a light. Next Im having power surges, asside from having almost no power.. I am still having a high idle problem and I still cant get the electronic ignition to work.. ARGG! |

I swapped out my D-Jet on my euro-spec 2.0 (higher compression than stock) for the L-Jet, the car ran great, no issues.
Since I did not have to smog the car, I machined some plastic plugs to fit into the air intake elbow to clean up the look of the compartment and to help rule out chances of vacuum leaks. What other components share that fuse? Did the wire get hot that you "rigged" to the pump? What you can do is rig the pump to go directly to the battery (with an inline fuse !!!!) Put a new fuse in the holder for the pump and see what happens.....the car will run and you have removed the pump from the equation. |
