I talk to my mechanic today and yes he is the only one who would take my car in sence he is a VW engine mechanic there was some other place but they were way over priced. He took the dizzy out and cleaned it all up plus he set the points on the fl trigger. Im now getting pluse again from the injecters so I guess I moved the dizzy to much when I was trying to get it to run and messed everything up. But now my fuel pump is just having problems it was working great when I brought it into the shop. He has a meter hooked up to the car and its not showing any pressure. Im thinking its probley not going to show any pressure in less the car is running. It squirts gas out of the fuel lines when you turn the key. But I hope to have the car out of the shop running and on the street withen the next couple weeks. I still need to get the title plus fix the hole under the seat and replace the turn signal lenses cause they are broken. Everything else works great like all the lights pop up and break lights work. I have access to a welder at my school Im wondering what type of metal I want to replace it with and should I weld it on from under the car or weld it inside the car. Thanks for all the support so far and probaly saving me a few hundred dollars.

If the pump was working and now not, check the fuse.
You can lay a piece of metal over the hole and weld it either from the inside or the outside, or trim the hole of bad metal and cut a patch the size of new hole and butt weld it in place. The second way you can grind the welds down and have a smooth patch. |

When I turned the key the pump turns on but I can't get any pressure just alittle. I though its suppose to run around 30 psi. I havn't tried it when the cars running though so that probley my problem.

QUOTE When I turned the key the pump turns on but I can't get any pressure just alittle. I though its suppose to run around 30 psi. I havn't tried it when the cars running though so that probley my problem. With the engine not running, and the fuel pump running, you should get 30psi. This is ONE of the problems you have... It is a good start. If the pump actually runs, then I would suspect dirt or other crap in the fuel tank/fuel lines. Check and replace the fuel filter. Check the pressure regulator (it should be adjustable). The fuel pressure gauge should be attached to the cold start valve rubber line and all other lines connected. The pressure regulator should be located on the driver side near the fuel rail. Turning the adjuster clockwise (in) increases the pressure. Turning the adjuster counter clockwise (out) decreases the pressure. There should be a jam nut on the adjusting bolt. Once set, tighten the jam nut (this rarely needs adjustment). Good luck. I am glad to see you aren't going to the dark side with those evil carbs.... |

They are all a lot closer than I am. LOL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
Sometimes you can just use an experienced hand to help out a little and explain some things while you're both there looking and pointing. If he wants me to, I'll stop by on my way back. QUOTE i did all my work, on my own, in similarly desolate surroundings Bet you weren't 16 at the time... |

I havn't tried it when the cars running though so that probley my problem. The FI system will run the fuel pump for ~1.5 seconds when the key goes from "off" to "on". That will raise the fuel pressure to some extent, but often not all the way to 30 PSI. The pump will also run while the starter is cranking, and while the car is running at more than ~200 RPM. If the pressure does not get to 29 PSI with the engine running, or with the starter cranking, or with the fuel pump relay jumpered to force the pump to run, then you have fuel delivery problems. If it does get to 29 PSI under those circumstances, that isn't your problem. --DD |

Great news Im bringing my car home today. He got it running and said it runs great. I just need a new fuel pump. He had it running on some vacuum thing to pump the gas. It could possibley be the fuel filter so Im going to change that first. If its the fuel pump it shouldn't be hard to replace sence I have tooken mine out many times just its going to cost me. It pumps gas just not hard. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Congratulations! I'll stop by St. George on my way back from L.A. anyway. I'll send some details in a reply to your PM.
And let me know if you don't find a pump before 4/1. I may be able to pick one up for you at D&G Swap for sub $50. What's your real name cactus? |

Put 12 volts to it and see if it spins. Don't do it for more than a few seconds so you don't burn it up. That however doesn't guarantee that it won't leak. Some people though have successfully taken them apart and replaced the o-ring.
There's also the option of replacing it with a generic 2 port FI pump that you can get a Summit for relatively cheap. |
